A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

In 2017, Demis Hassabis and his colleagues at Google’s Deepmind highlighted the commonalities between artificial intelligence (AI) and neuroscience in a paper and noted that better understanding of ...

Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off ...

Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

Neurons are not known for their regenerative powers. Some neurons are very slow to repair after injury, and some are never able to heal damage. This can lead to a devastating loss of function and ...

Understanding the brain's intricate machinery and how it orchestrates behaviors is a long-standing challenge in neuroscience. Yet, how can we ever hope to understand complex behaviors such as ...

"Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in human brains, but neurons grown in a dish don't seem to follow these rules. Neurons that are cultured in-vitro form ...
