Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...
