Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.

A study on mice identified a group of neurons in the central amygdala region of the brain that display a unique pattern of ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...
