Researchers at Duke and Stanford Universities have devised a way to watch the details of neurons at work, pretty much in real time. Every second of every day, the 100 billion neurons in your brain are ...

Our brains do not react in a fixed, mechanical way like electronic circuits. Even if we see the same scene every day on our ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. 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.

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with ...

Different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted with high specificity by one of the many new genetic tools developed at the Allen Institute. The brain is like an ...

Children learn extensively from observing their parents' actions, mirroring their behaviors and emotional responses due to ...
