Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Scientists say a new kind of AI could bridge the gap between current systems and machines that learn and think more like us.

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, ...

A single neural thread in the brain may explain why some people who are hurt lash out while others turn the pain inward. A ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

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. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Anxiety can feel like a storm that starts deep inside the skull. For years, neuroscientists have known that the amygdala — an ...

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.
