Madeline Lancaster created the first brain organoids, which have revolutionised our understanding of how the brain works - ...

A healthy brain maintains a harmony of neurons that excite or inhibit other neurons, but the lines between different types of ...

Recent insights into brain functioning challenge the long-standing belief that brain wiring is the primary determinant of intelligence and behavior. It appears that it’s not just about how the brain ...

The human brain processes information through adaptive mechanisms such as "synaptic plasticity" and "intrinsic plasticity." In this process, synaptic ...

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...

Using a corkscrew, writing a letter with a pen or unlocking a door by turning a key are actions that seem simple but actually require a complex orchestration of precise movements. So, how does the ...
