Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may begin in early life, a drug long-approved for other conditions might be ...

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

A new MIT study finds that somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a unique trajectory when forming connections in the brain’s ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Northwestern researchers have made notable scientific advancements in the past week. The Daily compiled a recap of their latest findings. NU scientists identified additional areas of the brain ...
