Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

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

An upside-down jellyfish drifts in a shallow lagoon, rhythmically contracting its translucent bell. By night that beat drops ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

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

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

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

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists ...

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

New research suggests pain is not a simple signal of injury but a process that unfolds across nerves, spinal cord, and brain.

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

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