The researchers found that specific neurons increased their electrical firing rate just before certain components of speech, ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people worldwide. Synapses are points of communication between neural cells that ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

Neuron morphology and sub-neuronal patterns offer vital insights into cell typing and the structural organization of brain networks. The community-collaborative BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

For decades, textbooks told students the human brain contained 100 billion neurons. That figure, repeated so often it became ...

Orange-arrow loop: Intracranial electrophysiological data are captured by macro-microelectrodes from the subject’s brain and streamed to the data acquisition device and a host computer, where the data ...

Sleeping deeply into the afternoon after an all-nighter or a late night out is one way the body repays its sleep debt. The sleep-wake cycle is regulated by a homeostatic process in which the body ...

Neuroscientist Paul Nuyujukian likens the brain to a stadium full of people. To eavesdrop on the crowd you could put a microphone in the middle of the stadium. But to understand the conversations you ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...
