By combining psilocybin with a modified rabies virus that tracks neural connections, they mapped how networks change after a ...

Scientists have known for some time that people who experience early childhood adversity are more prone to developing health ...

A new study shows that precisely manipulating brain activity during sleep can help mice retain memories that would normally fade, offering a potential pathway for treating memory loss conditions.

Manipulating mouse brains during sleep improved their ability to remember new experiences that would normally be forgotten—a ...

The researchers discovered that the missing piece of myelin resulted in slower and less consistent signal transmission to the thalamus. "We had anticipated this, because myelin is known to be ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

Recent technological and scientific advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, which is in turn ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

As the flu season sweeps through homes and classrooms, it’s not just our immune systems bracing for impact. New research ...
