By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Brain implants have improved dramatically in recent years, but they’re still invasive and unreliable. A new kind of brain-machine interface using living neurons to form connections could be the future ...

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 chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

If you value independent local news, become a sustainer today. Your gift could help unlock a $1M challenge. Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I analyze the recently announced ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

Scientists studying Alzheimer’s have long wondered how exactly toxic proteins spread from neuron to neuron, leaving some cells devastated while their neighbors remain unscathed. Now, researchers have ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one ...
