A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has made a game-changing breakthrough that could have life-changing implications for those suffering ...

The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are now calling an “all-body brain,” with neurons that function as a ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel traveling ...

Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about digital healthcare, biotech & innovation in medicine. Restoring function to a specific type of nerve cell in the ...

A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change ...
