A brain circuit made up of three types of neurons may regulate appetite, a mouse study finds. The drive to eat may be ...

Scientists have successfully reprogrammed astroglia, a type of brain support cell, into neurons that mimic specific interneurons critical for brain function.

New research supports brain cell transplantation as a treatment for some neurological disorders. A team from McGill ...

A mysterious electromagnetic mechanism may be more important than the firing of neurons in our brains to explain our ...

The findings reveal that BNC2 neurons, when activated by leptin and possibly other signals, not only suppress appetite but also alleviate the negative feelings associated with hunger. Remarkably, ...

New research reveals that cells outside the brain can store and process memories, challenging the view that memory is limited ...

Fascinating new findings into how clusters of 'brain stars' retain memories has changed what we know about how they're held in our minds.

A new study changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons that respond to learning events and control memory recall.

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons ...

With 140,000 neurons, 50 million synapses and over 100,000 cell label annotations, the fruit fly brain has been mapped and ...
