Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these ...

NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural and synaptic behaviors, marking a significant step toward brain-inspired computing. Researchers at the (NUS) have shown ...

University of California, Davis, researchers have developed a new, neuroplasticity-promoting drug closely related to LSD that ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

New research reveals that neurons can switch their migration strategy depending on whether they move on flat surfaces or through tight, crowded spaces.

The massive dataset from a new study is a step towards unravelling the mystery of how our brains work and could lead to ...

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered ...

The team of scientists behind the project said the map of neuron wiring was so complex, it looked like a picture of a galaxy.

Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, mapping every cell and synapse in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s visual cortex.
