In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

In the ChatGPT era, a war over the nature of intelligence is playing out. Chris Stokel-Walker explores a Princeton ...

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.

Research findings are available online in the journal Nature Metabolism. The original story “ Sweating may naturally suppress ...

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 ...

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

The brain's ability to carry out everything from forming memories to coordinating movement depends on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein ...

Researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that give rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected in Parkinson’s disease.

For decades, most scientists treated the spinal cord as little more than a biological cable. The brain gave orders, the ...

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 ...
