A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ...

The blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers are protective systems that prevent harmful substances from entering the brain and ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to make neural activity visible. Instead of shining light onto the brain from ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University, ...
