Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

A new sequencing-based method uses molecular barcodes to trace synaptic connections among neurons. The approach enables large ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

It has long been known as the arbiter of reward in the brain, but recent findings could upend this classic theory of dopamine ...

Researchers reveal that amyloid beta displaces tau, causing the transport system inside nerve cells to start breaking down.

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into “what” and “where/when” using two different groups of neurons. One set responds to specific objects or people, while another tracks the ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with ...

The scientific consensus suggests that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon arising from the complex chemical and ...

SuperAger brains have a special supportive cellular environment in the hippocampus, which has also been termed as a ...

Neuroscientists at King’s College London (UK) have pinpointed a mechanism behind the increased neural connectivity seen in ...

A new study suggests that two of Alzheimer’s disease’s most debated players may be more closely connected than they first ...
