When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed ...

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

A new technical paper, “Protonic nickelate device networks for spatiotemporal neuromorphic computing,” was published by researcher at UCSD and Rutgers University. Abstract “Computation in biological ...

Two companion studies, published in Cell Genomics, reveal how brain development lays the foundation for both shared and sex-specific circuits, redefining how neural diversity arises.

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

These included statins, prescribed to treat high cholesterol, and alpha blockers, also known as alpha adrenergic receptor ...

Cheap drug used to treat high cholesterol could keep MND patients alive longer - Some 18 medications taken for other ...

The cheap and commonly prescribed drug could be used to 'prolong survival' for MND patients ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the constant gnawing of rodents isn't just a reflex or a consequence of a tough diet. It also triggers a release of dopamine in the brain ...

Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

Neural electrodes coated with a heparan sulfate mimetic show improved electrical performance and reduced tissue reactivity, ...
