A collaborative French–Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing.

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It explores how physical components, such as neurons and their connections, give rise ...

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 demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those ...

People with Alzheimer's disease develop defects in cognitive functions like memory as well as problems with noncognitive functions that can lead to anxiety and depression. In a paper published April 6 ...

Artificial plastic neurons mimic brain-like activity, showing advanced signal processing and potential for breakthroughs in ...

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? Neurons are the cells that govern brain function, and you ...
