When we see, it feels as if we are simply looking through small windows onto the world, making it easy to forget about the extensive processing the visual ...

UCLA researchers have discovered two powerful influences that help guide how the human brain forms before birth. Radial glia, ...

UCLA researchers used lab-grown brain organoids, donated human tissue and fused "assembloids" to investigate how radial glia ...

Where and how does an Alzheimer's tangle begin? A new study by neuroscientists at Columbia University challenges a long-held ...

Why does staying awake inevitably make us sleepy? Researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have identified neuronal populations in the brains of mice that become activated during prolonged ...

Researchers have uncovered a possible reason why the Alzheimer’s risk gene APOE4 can disrupt the brain long before memory ...

New research pinpoints neurons involved in maintaining motivation in rats, potentially paving the way towards new treatments for ADHD, depression and addiction. While studying reward-seeking behavior ...

For decades, obesity medications produced only modest weight loss. But in recent years, Ozempic and related GLP-1 therapies have transformed the field, enabling sustained weight loss of 10 to 15% or ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital created a single-cell atlas of a key class of spinal neurons involved in motor coordination. From that resource, they identified a small subgroup of ...

Neurons that once encoded a person's memories are now helping researchers identify genetic targets that may one day help preserve memory and slow cognitive decline in others. Subscribe to our ...

Historically, neuroscience has inspired advances in artificial intelligence (AI). A growing extension of this influence is seen in the field of embodied intelligence, where neuromorphic hardware that ...
