Neurons in the brain are wired like a social network, report researchers from Biozentrum, University of Basel. Each nerve cell has links with many others, but the strongest bonds form between the few ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Florida Atlantic University neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising role for a protein named "Frazzled" (known as DCC in mammals) in the nervous system of fruit flies, showing how it helps neurons ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology and six other universities are teaming up to build synthetic neurons and a programmable network of such neurons in an effort to better understand the ...

Comparing brains to understand how neurons connect and how these connections can vary between species or individuals is one of the great areas of research in neuroscience. Now, a research team from ...

Florida Atlantic University neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising role for a protein named "Frazzled" (known as DCC in mammals) in the nervous system of fruit flies, showing how it helps neurons ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...
