By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Could the initiation of a simple walking exercise program help older adults to reverse declines in key brain regions? A new study led by University of Maryland School of Public Health researchers adds ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

Roberto F. Galán, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Ken Loparo, the Nord Professor of Engineering, will present “Making Sense Out of Noise in ...

Language processing in humans depends on the neuronal connection between language areas in the brain. Until recently, this language network was thought to be uniquely human. Now, in a discovery ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

Mothers and children who play together show synchronized brain activity, and that neural coupling holds steady even when the mother switches to her second language. A study of 15 bilingual families in ...
