As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.

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

Proteins that start life inside neurons build up faster in old age and spread to other brain cells—a potentially source of neurological mischief ...

A new study found a short siesta is enough to reorganize connections between nerve cells so that new information can be ...

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 ...

Microglia are the brain's immune cells that clean out debris, such as damaged proteins and old cell parts, to keep the organ ...

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

What makes this neural cluster unusual is its binary activity pattern: it is consistently active in females but largely inactive in males, only turning on during major social or reproductive events.

Ageing slows neuronal protein degradation in mice, leading to widespread accumulation and aggregation of long-lived proteins, particularly at synapses. As neuronal clearance declines, microglia ...

Abstract: Oxide semiconductor transistors are promising candidates for complementary vision neuromorphic systems. In this work, we present an optoelectronic synaptic transistor based on p-type tin ...

ABSTRACT: Neurodegenerative disorders, most notably Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are marked by progressive cognitive decline and widespread neuronal loss. A growing body of evidence indicates that ...
