A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Alzheimer's disease not only robs people of their memory but also affects mood, often causing anxiety and depression. Until now, scientists haven't fully understood how these symptoms are connected in ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...
