A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

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

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that targeting neuronal signaling controlling aberrant learning in the ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

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

Salk scientists discovered the protein CCN1—secreted by non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes—stabilizes brain circuits in adulthood. The CCN1 pathway may be a powerful target for therapeutics ...
