New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Johns Hopkins scientists reveal that “inactive” GluD brain proteins regulate neuronal communication and open up new ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

New memristor-based artificial neurons emit light to enable denser, more efficient 3D AI chips, pointing to a future beyond ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

“A 3-ounce serving of cooked salmon contains about 20 grams of protein, which is key for preserving muscle mass as we age,” says Talia Follador, RDN. Regularly including protein-rich foods like salmon ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...
