For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Alcohol does not simply relax the mind. It rewires it. With repeated use, drinking can splinter the brain’s carefully coordinated networks into scattered, competing circuits that chase the next drink ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Your organs are constantly talking to each other in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Tapping into these communication ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

Meaning doesn’t stay inside individual brains. Shared attention and language allow meaning to become symbolic, social, and cumulative.

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

The field of network physiology is increasingly focused on understanding how complex cell interactions within the central ...
