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

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?

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

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 ...
