New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

A new study suggests that cognitive loss in patients with brain metastases may be due to the interference that cancer produces in neuronal circuits. When cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

WASHINGTON – A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

The root of humans’ unique intelligence is a perennial question, but one that scientists recently approached from a completely new angle. Past research centered around structural differences between ...
