Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery could change how we understand Alzheimer's disease. Published in Cell ...

Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.

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.

Scientists link a rising brain protein to memory decline and show it can be reversed in mice, offering a new target for ...
