The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. orange neuron illustration Super-resolution microscopes have revealed a whole new type of connection between neurons in mouse and ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

The data shows when the protein is removed from neurons or has its signaling activity blocked with drugs, axonal fibers grew more effectively.

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

Cortical Labs says the stunt points toward a new kind of low-power computing—and perhaps a new way to study neurological ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...
