Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

We effortlessly identify sensory inputs on the basis of temporal patterning alone (for instance, different Morse code symbols) and as effortlessly produce motor outputs with widely differing temporal ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

Synthetic neural circuits made from silicon can accurately mimic the electrical properties of nerve cells, researchers reported yesterday (December 3) in Nature Communications. The research aims to ...
