Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Lots of studies have shown that getting a good night’s rest (seven to eight hours) is associated with better memory and other ...
