Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

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 ...

While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the ...

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 ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...
