A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Your brain can grow new cells—and one molecule makes it possible. Learn how movement, food, and mindset can boost BDNF to ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

The debate over adult neurogenesis may have just been won. New research out of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides evidence of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a finding that could ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising sugar-related mechanism inside brain cells that could transform how we fight Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It turns out neurons don’t just store sugar for ...

Benjamin holds a Master's degree in anthropology from University College London and has previously worked in the fields of psychedelic neuroscience and mental health. Benjamin holds a Master's degree ...

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like ...

We've all experienced defeat at some point – losing a game, a potential new job, a debate. Now, a new study has found that the brain may learn from losing to others, with a specific group of neurons ...
