Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human ...

A new model reads brain signals to identify memory categories, which could help develop memory-restoring tools for cognitive ...

A new study has uncovered how the brain efficiently encodes and recalls visual memories—by organizing them into categories and using the precise timing of neuronal activity.

Summary: New research uncovers how tau pathology spreads and damages synapses in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Using ...

To test the model, the researchers grew three different types of neuronal cells, derived either from mouse brain tissue or from human stem cells, on the nanopillars.

Advance could usher in new era of research for schizophrenia, autism, Alzheimer's, and other neurological diseases ...

This discovery of sexual dimorphism in the structure of a single sensory neuron, which also relates to male-specific behavior, provides a unique example in C. elegans and opens new avenues for ...

I n 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.
