Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

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 ...

Researchers found a "garbage man" enzyme that tags toxic clumps of proteins in the brain for removal, and saw a correlation ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of ...

An innovative and scalable proximity labelling method profiled proteins present in the Caenorhabditis elegans brain during learning, identifying known regulators as well as novel biological pathways.

AI is ultimately a story about selfhood—and the answer will not be found in the machine, but in what mindful awareness allows us to recognize when we see ourselves reflected there.

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Back in 2019, an international team first identified 109 genes linked in different combinations with eight psychiatric ...

A look at Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), focusing on motor neuron degeneration, sporadic versus familial ...

Abstract: Neurons are functionally classified into inhibitory and excitatory categories based on the influence they have on the firing rates of their postsynaptic neurons after being stimulated.

Neuronal synchronization refers to the temporal coordination of activity across populations of neurons, a process that underlies coherent information processing, supports the encoding of diverse ...
