Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Neurons never sit still for long. Receptors move in and out of the cell surface. Signals surge, fade, then surge again. Beneath that activity, a fine lattice made of actin and spectrin quietly lines ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

The registrations for NEET 2026 have commenced. In order to appear for the MBBS entrance test, the candidates need to be well aware of the syllabus for the test. The National ...

What is connectomics? The field comprehensively mapping connections between synapses to reshape what we know about the brain.

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

That’s because the trunk is highly sensitive when it comes to sensing touch. Scientists have determined that the whiskers ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

An efficient neural screening approach rapidly identifies circuit modules governing distinct behavioral transitions in response to pathogen exposure.
