A new analysis of individual brain cells across several human brain regions reveals subtle but widespread differences in gene activity between male and female brains. This may help explain why some ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...

The same brain cells activate when you see something and when you imagine it, helping explain why mental images can feel so ...

Northwestern University researchers have taken a step toward bridging electronics and the human brain ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by ...

A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity. We started thinking: 'What if we could light up the brain from the inside?

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

A fruit fly eats a meal laced with harmful bacteria, gets sick, and never touches that food again. That much scientists ...

A new study shows a simple nasal spray that reduces brain inflammation, improves memory, and may slow aging related brain ...

Physical exercise may help reduce inflammation in MS by changing immune activity, a study in mice and patients suggests.
