A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

A new framework that causes artificial neural networks to mimic how real neural networks operate in the brain has been ...

By rewiring a fruit fly brain, researchers have identified attractive and repulsive molecules that drive brain circuit ...

Researchers uncovered an unexpected form of neural resilience: after traumatic injury, surviving retinal cells in mice grow new branches that reestablish lost connections in the brain’s visual system, ...

A new study proposes that autism arises when genetic vulnerability, an early environmental trigger, and prolonged activation of the cellular stress response align during critical developmental windows ...

When it comes to brain function, neurons get a lot of the glory. But healthy brains depend on the cooperation of many kinds ...
