Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

One of the brain's most celebrated qualities is its adaptability. Changes to neural circuits, whose connections are continually adjusted as we experience and interact with the world, are key to how we ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic vortex or “vortion”. The research, published in Nature ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

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 ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Boost Neuroscience is a “stealth” biotech company that has developed a proprietary synapse network platform based on the work of Nobel Laureate Dr. Thomas Südhof, M.D. Boost was spun out of Stanford ...
