A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

We’re not Barbie girls, but we live in a plastic world. Microplastics, tiny specks of broken-down plastic, are all around us. They hover in the air, float in our water, and are sprinkled in the food ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Axonal boutons are specialized endings of an axon, which is the long slender part of a neuron that connects neurons by transmitting neural signals. These are sites where synapses form, allowing ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, researchers reported the first comprehensive study of whole-brain projectomes of the macaque prefrontal cortex (PFC) at the single-neuron level and revealed ...
