Animals and humans develop a certain tolerance to prolonged heat: the body adjusts to release heat instead of generating it, ...

Place cells are well known to encode individual locations, but new experiments and analysis indicate that stitching together ...

A new study reveals how the brain forms cohesive mental maps of spaces and highlights the critical role of sleep in this process.

Researchers at Scripps Research Institute have used patient-derived stem cells to create brain organoids—also called ...

Alzheimer’s disease may cause degeneration of neurons in the brain through amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, inflammation, and brain atrophy. The condition may affect different parts of ...

Groundbreaking neuroscience research by an international team led by scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research ...

Place cells are well known to encode individual locations, but new experiments and analysis at MIT indicate that stitching ...

salt and water transporters on immature neurons can cause brain tissue to shrink in response to a lack of oxygen, which in ...

This year’s Physics prize has been awarded to John J Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and ...

housing the AgRP neurons that strongly promote feeding behavior. GLP-1 receptors are expressed in various brain and peripheral regions, but evidence suggests that Arc-localized GLP-1 receptors ...

This valuable study combines experiments and theory to investigate the putative role of spontaneous correlated activity in establishing aligned topographic maps of neural activity in higher-order ...

But the researchers identified it as a point of interest while creating a whole-brain functional map, to see which neurons were transcriptionally active while relearning to walk after a spinal ...
