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 ...

For many years, a dominant view in neuroscience was that neurons in the inferotemporal (IT) cortex—a critical center in the ...

Researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center provide critical insight into how the brain and body work together to ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Regenerating neurons may be one way to improve cognition. stanislavgusev/RooM via Getty Images Your brain can still make new ...

Two major breakthroughs — flexible, printed artificial neurons that communicate with living brain tissue and a reversible method to make living brains temporarily transparent — could transform ...

Why do some people stay sharp despite Alzheimer’s? Research into cognitive resilience shows immature neurons act as a "fertilizer" to protect the aging brain.

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...
