The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...

Science is showing us that everyday choices—like moving more, eating well, and sleeping better—can protect memory and keep our brains sharper for longer. From structured lifestyle programs to simple ...

A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

Brain function has traditionally been interpreted within a neuron-centric framework; however, this view has shifted toward a model of neuron-glia ...

Though many studies approach the developmental disorder Rett syndrome as a single condition arising from general loss of ...

Neuroscience aims to understand how the structural and functional organization of the brain relates to behavior. Structural studies at the cellular level establish the neurobiological framework for ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive biological datasets with the extraordinary power of Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Astrocytes (red) are vital to forming neural connections. Jeffrey C. Smith Lab, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and ...

Neural circuit structure supports function. The underlying image data that yields anatomical connectomes (or wiring diagrams) are typically obtained using volume electron microscopy (vEM) techniques ...

This work demonstrates an objective way to select parameter values for a quadratic integrate-and-fire model so that its bifurcation diagram matches a specific target diagram, generated from the ...
