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 ...

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

We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...

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

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Intermittent fasting has moved far beyond a weight loss trend, with early evidence hinting that time restricted eating may ...

There is a strong link between regular physical exercise and good brain health, according to one study. Researchers found ...
