When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...
Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...
Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...
Researchers developed brain organoids from patient samples to model genetic subtypes of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), creating a translational platform that better reflects the human-specific ...
Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...
Pediatricians and parents — and, really, anyone who works with children — have long known that a child’s social needs evolve with age. Yale researchers have now discovered the neurological signaling ...
Boosting KCC2 function reduced seizures and abnormal brain activity in temporal lobe epilepsy models. Learn how this strategy could aid drug-resistant epilepsy.
What goes wrong first in the Alzheimer’s disease brain? Scientists led by Marc Aurel Busche of the U.K. Dementia Research Institute at University College London may have an answer. In the May 7 Neuron ...
Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Researchers at Linköping ...
