Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Synthetic neural circuits made from silicon can accurately mimic the electrical properties of nerve cells, researchers reported yesterday (December 3) in Nature Communications. The research aims to ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.
