Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

Neural networks are one typical structure on which artificial intelligence can be based. The term "neural" describes their ...

New research reveals that neurons can switch their migration strategy depending on whether they move on flat surfaces or through tight, crowded spaces.

Novel tools that allow neuron-specific investigations of the structure controlling sleep regulation in fruit flies reveal the extent of neuronal heterogeneity.

Researchers at WashU Medicine identified a direct connection between cancer-related inflammation and the loss of motivation characteristic of advanced cancer. In a mouse study, they describe a brain ...

In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final ...

This week, researchers reported a brain circuit linked to the intensity of political behavior. Microbiologists found that the ...

memory formation hinges on connections between groups of engram cells, which are neurons thought to capture and store ...

This valuable study combines real-time keypoint tracking with transdermal activation of sensory neurons to investigate sensory neuron recruitment in freely moving mice, and builds on the authors' ...
