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.

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, findings that may point to a new way to treat neurogenerative disorders.

In mice, autism symptoms arise when a certain pair of competing nerve proteins falls out of equilibrium, according to a new study.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) ...
