Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even ...

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

Building endurance isn't just about muscles, it's about the brain. A newly discovered neural circuit in the hypothalamus rewires itself after exercise to boost heart and muscle strength.

The effects of exercise would not be nearly as powerful without the input of the brain, according to new research. A study on ...

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

Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world—and in particular, of feedback connections, which send information ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

Ultra-low-latency data processing is central to high-frequency trading, where nanosecond-level delays define competitive ...
