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 ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

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

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 ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Researchers have identified a brain protein whose absence leads to memory loss and Alzheimer’s-like damage in mice.

Recent research has identified a specific biological mechanism that may explain why females experience more severe ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...
