In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

Scientists offer new insight into how the body detects light touch and how disruptions in that process may contribute to sensory disorders.

Two companion studies, published in Cell Genomics, reveal how brain development lays the foundation for both shared and sex-specific circuits, redefining how neural diversity arises.

Published in The Lancet Neurology, a new review from the University of Colorado Anschutz in collaboration with UT Southwestern Medical Center, offers the latest scientific explanations for why ...

Researchers map the peptide behind semaglutide across 25 brain regions in each sex, finding striking differences in ...

A recent study in Translational Psychiatry shows that one dose of DMT reversed loss of pleasure and cognitive deficits in stressed mice. The psychedelic promoted new brain cell growth, highlighting ...

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...
