The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Filippo Beleggia, MD, PhD, didn’t believe his own data. As a postdoctoral researcher, he spent years in the laboratory of Christian Reinhardt, MD, PhD, at the University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, ...
