An experiment carried out by Riesenhuber and colleagues has revealed that the brain has a workaround that can be activated ...

Neuroscience continues to face a central challenge with profound clinical consequences: neuronal loss and network dysfunction in chronic neurodegenerative ...

The brain may reuse some cells to store many different memories without mixing them up with or erasing older memories, a new ...

With $500 million in funding and a reported $2.5 billion valuation, Flourish wants to reinvent AI by putting real neurons ...

The Allen Institute in Seattle says scientists have now learned enough about how the brain works to start fixing it when it.

New research by Georgetown scientists shows how the brain rewires itself to automate learned tasks. The findings challenge a long-held understanding of how humans master complex skills, suggesting ...

Beyond muscle mass and metabolic health lies the next frontier of biohacking: neuroprotection. A groundbreaking new study ...

It is a dogma in neuroscience that certain brain cells respond in the same way to the same thing. Specific neurons always fire, for example, when we see particular shapes and colours; other neurons ...

Neuroscientists have developed a precision technology called LinCx that builds custom electrical bridges between neurons. This early-stage research shows how engineered proteins can bypass damaged ...

A new technology called LinCx allows scientists to create custom electrical connections between neurons with high precision. Researchers say it may help treat disorders caused by damaged brain ...

How complex neural circuits are genetically designed and wired is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Scientists have shown for the first time that genes encode a "wiring map" that guides neurons ...

People given general anaesthesia fall into a coma-like state in which their memory and perception of pain are switched off. But new data reveal that the hippocampus — a deep brain structure crucial ...
