How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

They suffer from a chronic lack of curiosity – they just don’t care about gathering new information, something that is itself ...

Doctors told him that his bowel just needed time to heal. “It got to the point where I couldn’t go out, because I would ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

Redefining Research: This study shows that a human-based brain organoid model can mimic key brain functions such as ...

The human brain processes information through adaptive mechanisms such as "synaptic plasticity" and "intrinsic plasticity." In this process, synaptic ...

Glucose, nutrients, and oxygen are crucial for normal brain function. Providing the brain with fuel via diet and exercise is ...

Scientists from the Nencki Institute and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have revealed a key mechanism in ...

A new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers one of the most comprehensive views yet of how brain cells interact in Alzheimer’s disease, mapping protein networks that reveal ...

This work, combining behavioural genetics and calcium imaging, provides evidence for a form of learning in Drosophila that derives solely from direct or (optogenetically induced) phantom experience of ...

BACKGROUND: PYGM (muscle glycogen phosphorylase), the rate-limiting enzyme in glycogenolysis, plays an indispensable role in maintaining cardiac energy metabolism. However, the role of PYGM in the ...

When it comes to brain proteins, small changes can make a dramatic difference. Researchers studying NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment ...
