More than seven million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and two-thirds of them are women, according to the Alzheimer's Association. The O'Banion ...

Various tissues and organs in the human body, such as nerves, heart, bones, and skin, rely on bioelectrical signals to maintain function and support ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

When pain is the result of a misfiring pain alarm, try recalibrating the alarm by approaching pain as a safe sensation.

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

Trapped in a hell he helped make, a lone hacker aboard a space station far from home sneaks and fights his way through horrible mutants and killer robots in order to take down the monstrous artificial ...

Researchers studying the human brain shared a lot of fascinating research this year, like how to keep brains young and how to reduce inflammation in joints.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.
