Language-Specific Hardware: At the single-neuron level inside the hippocampus, individual cells are largely language-specific ...
Researchers stimulated human neurons and tracked gene activity. Activation exposed hidden variants and epigenetic changes ...
Mouse brain activity was used to recreate 10-second videos, offering a new way to study how vision is represented in the ...
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 ...
Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...
Neuropeptides are brain and body signaling molecules that shape emotion, pain, metabolism, cognition, and immune function.
Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...
A new study constructs the first 3D single-cell brain atlas of the lamprey, uncovering the 450-million-year-old molecular ...
A new study found that fructose and glucose may look the same on a nutrition label, but the brain treats them very differently. In mice, glucose strongly reduced activity in hunger-promoting brain ...
Neurons exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...
Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a ...
A newly discovered brain peptide, AETA, may hold the key to detecting Alzheimer’s long before memory loss becomes visible.
