Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...
New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.
Researcher suggest findings could help understand what happens in the brain when fear response regulation is impaired.
Why do beauty standards feel inescapable? Neuroscience and epigenetics reveal how our brains imprint cultural ideals—shaping ...
Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...
The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...
Researchers have uncovered a neural mechanism in the brains of mice that enables them to override instinctive fear responses; dysfunction in this mechanism may contribute to inappropriate or excessive ...
From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural connections in response ...
