MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music. For the first…
Brain organization differs between boys and girls with autism, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine. The differences, identified by…
Scientists at UCL have developed a new technique that uses microscopic magnetic particles to remotely activate brain cells; researchers say the discovery in rats could…
Immersive virtual reality and real-time brain activity imaging showcase Drosophila’s capabilities of attention, working memory, and awareness. As they annoyingly buzz around a batch of…
Different types of these branch-like projections process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron. Within the human brain,…
Two large studies carried out independently in the UK both found a slight increase in risk of intracranial thromboses in some populations after the AstraZeneca…
Harvard University and Broad Institute researchers use 3D, miniature models of the human brain to advance disease understanding. Autism spectrum disorder has been associated with…
Identifying the window of development could reveal ideal time to intervene in autism. Timing is key when treating developmental disorders. Blocking an overactive signaling pathway…
Ability of immune system to destroy Alzheimer’s-related protein oscillates with daily circadian rhythm. The brain’s ability to clear a protein closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease…
When performing calculations, some neurons are active when adding, others when subtracting. The brain has neurons that fire specifically during certain mathematical operations. This is…
A new study published in Frontiers in Neural Circuits is the first to analyze the structural connectivity changes that happen in the brain after long-duration…
Single-cell gene expression analyses of human cerebrovascular cells can help reveal new drug targets for Huntington’s disease. While neurons and glial cells are by far…
Pooling data from dozens of experiments let researchers show whose brains benefit the most from exercise. We all know exercise is good for us, but…
Learning new motor skills is a critical aspect of our lives. From playing the piano to riding a bike, it would be difficult to imagine…
When a person tries to access a memory, their brain quickly sifts through everything stored in it to find the relevant information. But as we…
Researchers studying a protein that is strongly linked to the psychiatric disorder are the first to determine the protein’s function, tracing it to a structure…
The findings provide a mechanism that links Alzheimer’s disease with circadian rhythm disruptions. Researchers report that the immune cells responsible for clearing away a key…
