Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that means for neuroscience.

Researchers have developed a new way to decipher the language of the brain by listening to and recording the fastest and ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement, the ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have found a previously unseen pattern among the rapid-firing neurons inside the brain, one that reveals how distinct networks located in specific areas ...

Amblyopia, often called lazy eye, develops when the brain fails to receive balanced input from both eyes early in life. One ...
