A recent study by UCLA researchers offers new insight into how the brain makes sense of sequences of experiences, and it may have implications for treating certain memory disorders. The study, ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is ...

A pioneering study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences by researchers at Durham University has revealed promising results for a new treatment targeting motor neuron disease ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...

Accumulation of a protein called TDP-43 is a key feature of ALS and frontotemporal dementia. In a study published in Neuron, researchers report 'seeding' this accumulation through fragments of the ...

Everyone wants to protect their memories. The idea of forgetting familiar faces or treasured moments drives many people to look for ways to protect their brain health. That motivation has fueled ...

Animals survive in changing and unpredictable environments by not merely responding to new circumstances, but also, like humans, by forming inferences about their surroundings—for instance, squirrels ...

Neurons form networks by exchanging signals, enabling learning and adaptation. Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have developed a 3D-printed neuronal culture platform that ...
