Neuroscientific advances follow a pattern of visualizing the brain, measuring its function and then controlling it.

Optogenetics, a groundbreaking technique, enables researchers to control specific neurons using light, providing insights ...

The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection between the brain and the rest of the body. It is classified in two ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

New research shows that the TRBP-containing microRNA production complex on the endoplasmic reticulum acts as a sorting hub ...

What if cells that form scars after a spinal cord injury could become part of the repair process? Researchers have developed a genetic system that converts certain scar-forming cells into neurons, ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

A new study reveals that specialized brain cells called orexin neurons act as an effort-tracking system. By firing when a reward is expected, these cells help the brain decide if a goal is actually ...
