The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

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 ...

A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ...

The human brain contains approximately 87 billion neurons. On average, each of these cells make thousands of different connections to facilitate communication across the brain. Neural communication is ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.
