Ben worries that information literacy is falling by the wayside. “Traditional research and evaluation skills are totally bypassed by AI,” he says. “If [a student] asks ‘what is evidence about how ...

Paris conference urges international action against synthetic organisms that could disrupt critical ecosystems ...

Even a bunch of brain cells on a culture plate can show evidence of learning, but what we didn't realize was that the same is true for other types of human cells, like these kidney-derived cells.

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research.

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University ...

A study led by Dr. Marco Bocchio in the Durham University Department of Psychology reveals how specific brain cells called ...

In mice with Alzheimer's, the team found that the cleaning system becomes sluggish because channels that help drain metabolic waste from the brain are misplaced. "It looks like the cells have ...

“It [is] one example, how on the molecular level exercise can improve brain cells in Alzheimer’s disease, hopefully rendering them more functionally.” — Christiane D. Wrann, DVM, PhD.

The process of creating new brain cells is called neurogenesis. Researchers first observed neurogenesis after birth in lab animals of various ages, including mice, rats and songbirds.

For example, researchers have found that methylene blue may improve learning, boost memory and protect brain cells in rats with a condition that mimics Alzheimer’s disease. Methylene blue is ...

What if a single choice could hijack your brain's wiring, rewriting your behavior, judgment, and even your ability to survive? The human brain is an essential organ in the body, responsible for ...
