A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

Scientists explore how the immune and nervous systems constantly communicate, influencing brain diseases, behavior, and ...

The SYNGAP1 gene, which supports the production of a protein called SynGAP (Synaptic Ras GTPase-Activating Protein), is known ...

Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the ...

Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children’s found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat ...

"Our findings highlight a distinct mitochondrial mechanism that helps explain how CA2 neurons function, which may contribute to its role in social cognition and its vulnerability in certain ...

Researchers in Japan found that excessively activated neurons over time, rather than decreased neuronal activity, cause aging-related decline in brain function in nematodes.

Neurons balance energy efficiency by regulating protein synthesis based on molecular properties like stability and size.

Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Harvard researchers have mapped and cataloged more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a ...

New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...
