Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Researchers from the University of Konstanz have studied how insect brains take in complex light stimuli and process them in ...

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Degradable pacemakers and artificial neurons showcase how flexible, tissue-compatible electronics are revolutionising medicine. But translating these materials from lab bench to clinic requires solvin ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of the brain.

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...
