Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

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 ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

Tiny cellular tubes between neurons and brain cells called microglia serve as conduits for the export of toxic protein aggregates from neurons and the import of healthy organelles, keeping ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and the CNRS were able to make real-time observations over a period of several months that reveal how new adult-born neurons are formed and evolve in the olfactory ...

Scientists may have discovered an innovative method to address one of the major challenges in neurodegenerative disease research. Last Friday, a study published in Science by researchers at Washington ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...
