Scientists in the U.K., Australia and China have identified a brain molecule called NEAT1 that appears to play a central role ...

A mechanism involving potassium channels in the brain that control brain cell activity could provide a new and fundamentally ...

The podcast Chasing Life With Dr. Sanjay Gupta explores the medical science behind some of life’s mysteries big and small.

Whenever something bad happens to us, brain systems responsible for mediating emotions kick in to prevent it from happening again. When we get stung by a wasp, the association between pain and wasps ...

Scientists at McMaster University have uncovered new insights into the complex interactions between different kinds of brain ...

The evidence supporting this claim is compelling, demonstrating that SPNs uniquely integrate sparse input from variable stretches across the barrel cortex. The study would be of interest to basal ...

You might want to avoid letting them eat them just to be safe, but it’s okay if they touch them. If your cat is anything like Foxie, there’s a chance a dandelion will activate their brain cell, too!

Brains are made up of many different types of neurons (nerve cells in the brain), each of which are thought to play different roles in processing information. Scientists have long been able to use ...

These algorithms have not only described brain cell activity with remarkable precision but also helped develop artificial intelligence with superhuman achievements in specific tasks, such as playing ...
