Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

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' ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...

A new imaging technique developed at the University of Illinois now gives researchers a way to watch the flow of mass -- the molecular flux of life itself -- as living nerve nets begin to crystallize.
