Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

Researchers discover that the nerve cells that make us uniquely human are also uniquely vulnerable to dying during the waves ...

A group of nerve cells essential for cognition may be especially vulnerable to DNA damage upon exposure to inflammation in MS.

For decades, multiple sclerosis research has focused on myelin, the insulation around the brain's wiring. Scientists paid ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...
