The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

Mirror Neurons are a cluster of cells in our brains that fire both when you take an action, but also when you see someone ...

Based on the characteristics discussed above, let's consider a few potential options and determine which one is not a ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...

Researchers at Duke and Stanford Universities have devised a way to watch the details of neurons at work, pretty much in real time. Every second of every day, the 100 billion neurons in your brain are ...

Princeton University researchers have captured among the first recordings of neural activity in nearly the entire brain of a free-moving animal. The three-dimensional recordings could provide ...

Yu Wu is a research scientist at Rice University and lead author on a study published in Cell Reports. HOUSTON – (July 11, 2024) – Implantable technologies have significantly improved our ability to ...

Every day, our brains adapt and learn, whether it's mastering a new skill or recalling a familiar tune. Central to this adaptability is synaptic plasticity—the process by which synapses, the ...

Back in the 1990s, neuroscientists at the University of Parma identified cells in the premotor cortex of monkeys that had an unusual response pattern. They were activated when the monkeys performed a ...

Neuroscientists have used a nanosized sensor to record spinal cord neurons in free-moving mice, a feat that could lead to the development of better treatments for spinal cord disease and injury.
