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

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

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

On the heels of its most advanced medicine flunking a key study, the drugmaker is looking at the different paths it could ...

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has ...

These synapses, where brain cells communicate and store information, play a critical role in learning and memory. By understanding how synapses strengthen and weaken, the scientists precisely ...

In a study published in eLight, researchers from Cornell University revealed an new imaging technology that can visualize brain activity at single-cell resolution. Illustration of multi-focus scanning ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, ...

This research introduces new techniques to significantly improve the field of view of three-photon microscopy. Scientists can now observe the activity of large groups of neurons in deep brain regions ...

Neuroscientists have discovered brain cells that form multiple coordinate systems to tell us 'where we are' in a sequence of behaviors. These cells can play out different sequences of actions, just ...

Huntington's occurs when inherited genes cause key proteins to fold and clump together within brain cells. Over time, this ...

Barbara O’Brien, MD, discussed findings and implications from the phase 2 TBCRC049 study evaluating the combination of ...
