Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, ...

When you get up out of a chair, your blood pressure instantly increases to compensate for the movement and keep you from ...
