Vascular dementia has long been overshadowed by Alzheimer’s disease, yet it is one of the leading causes of cognitive decline ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

By directly communicating with the brain, a new wireless device could someday help restore lost senses or manage pain without medications, its developers say.

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that produces them. That vision is suddenly closer to reality, as glowing neurons ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...
