By crafting an artificial brain-like environment with microscopic nanopillars, researchers have successfully guided neurons to grow in structured networks. This innovation could revolutionize how scie ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Each time a person undergoes stress the brain releases cortisol hormones. Cortisol binds to glucocorticoid receptors and tells the body to prepare its “fight-or-flight” response. This hormone also ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...

Researchers have studied how prenatal cannabis exposure affects brain development and cognitive functions, including memory ...

The genes included those involved in the function of energy-producing mitochondria, lipid and iron metabolism, and the ...

The hippocampus contains neurons that specifically encode memories for of sugar and fat, impacting affecting food intake and ...

The advance from a team with Professor Tobin Marks and research assistant professor Yao Yao could enable perceptual ...

The brain processes space and time differently across regions, revealing a functional hierarchy in perception.

Microbe-derived indoles modulate anxiety and neuronal excitability in the amygdala of germ-free (GF) male mice. These ...

Neuralink’s brain-computer interface technology also has been discussed for other potential uses, for example, in mental health treatments for anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder ...
