Neurons exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...

A new study led by Monash University researchers has shed light on the factors shaping the intricate wiring of our brains.

Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center found that common dietary sugars fructose and glucose, despite having the same amount of calories, communicate with the brain through different ...

Mouse brain activity was used to recreate 10-second videos, offering a new way to study how vision is represented in the ...

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a ...
