Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

Down syndrome results in changes to the structure and function of neural circuits in the brain. Delivering a specific protein ...

Neuromorphic supercomputers are entering a period of growth as researchers bring them closer to the structure and function of the brain.

Children with autism have different brains than children without autism, down to the structure and density of their neurons, according to a study by the University of Rochester Medical Center, New ...

A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...
