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

When HHMI Investigator Amita Sehgal started studying sleep 25 years ago, the topic elicited a yawn from most biologists. "In the year 2000, if I had suggested to my department that we hire people ...

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

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

Perovskites, named after a mineral discovered in the Urals in the 19th century, are compounds with the chemical formula ABX 3, where A and B are positively charged metal ions and X is a negatively ...

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.

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

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.

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 ...

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

A male fruit fly in a laboratory chamber extends his wings and vibrates them to produce his species' version of a love song.
