Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

If we can model a fly brain, and run that fly in a sim, we might do it with us. We live in the age of the brain, and ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

A team of neurologists, bioengineers and radiologists has found that two neurons in the human brain that code for dopamine production have to work harder than similar cells in primate relatives. The ...
