Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National University. Shin is the first author of a new study in Nature ...

Brain scientists looked inside the open skulls of 16 epilepsy patients and tracked how a thought develops and moves.

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." New research finds you’re more likely to zone out when you’re tired. Scientists tracked exactly what ...

A stroke is just one example of a condition when communication between nerve cells breaks down. Micro-failures in brain functioning also occur in conditions such as depression and dementia. In most ...
