Research teams funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types...
Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong...
Using the gene scissors CRISPR and stem cells, researchers have managed to identify a common denominator for different gene mutations that all cause the neurological disease...
Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study.
Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook...
A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur...
An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research.
That 'aha' moment when you come back to a puzzle and immediately figure it out? Something fascinating is going on in your brain. A new study...
Researchers identified two brain networks involved in word retrieval -- the cognitive process of accessing words we need to speak. A semantic network processes meaning in...
A new study finds that an easily measurable brain wave shift of phase may be a universal marker of unconsciousness under general anesthesia.
