Some older male rats prefer familiarity over new social situations. Manipulating how their neurons communicate with a ...

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

How does origami-like DNA affect brain development? How do cancer-immune cell interactions prevent immune cell activity in tumors?Two breakthrough ...

The ability to use language to communicate is one of things that makes us human. At MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

Lung cancer tumor cells in mice communicate with the brain, sending signals to deactivate the body’s immune response, a study ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease, affecting more than ...
