An international group of neuroscientists joined forces to produce a landmark neural map, which revealed that decision-making lights up the entire brain.

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive ...

To shed new light on the contribution of different brain regions and neural circuits to specific mental functions, ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

Researchers have developed the first metal–organic framework (MOF) neuron that mimics brain-like behavior in aqueous ...

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?

For families of children with severe epilepsy, controlling seizures is often just the beginning of their challenges. Even in ...

Mouse motor neurons (green) grown directly from skin cells were able to integrate with others in the animal's brain after transplantation ...

Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the ...

Other studies of potential adult neurogenesis have looked at protein and immune signatures in brain tissues to determine if, where, and how often new neurons are being formed.
