The Wiley Foundation honored research into connectomes — detailed atlases of the brain that map out thousands of neurons and ...

A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different types of neurons, offering new insights into autism and memory.

Researchers applied the Ribo-STAMP method to map protein translation in nearly 20,000 mouse hippocampal cells. The study ...

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...

Most mammals take one of two approaches to survive the winter: they either hibernate, slowing their bodies to a near ...

Researchers have identified a brain circuit that can rekindle memories of pleasurable eating and thereby increase or suppress ...

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...

Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.

For many years, sports nutrition was rooted in a simple metaphor: The body is an engine, glycogen (the body's quick-release carbohydrate reserve) is its fuel, and fatigue occurs when the tank runs low ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have revealed that a critical developmental process in the brain's hypothalamus might influence an individual's vulnerability to obesity.
