Our brain's remarkable ability to form and store memories has long fascinated scientists, yet most of the microscopic mechanisms behind memory and learning processes remain a mystery.

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

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

Researchers at University of California campuses at Davis and San Diego have developed a new, neuroplasticity-promoting drug ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have begun an ambitious project to study if living neurons can transmit light through their axons—the long, tail-like nerve fibers of neurons that resemble ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Researchers have created an AI-powered "digital twin" of the mouse visual cortex that can accurately simulate neural ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

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.

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers ...
