Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

New research shows that neurons can stabilize their signaling using a fast, physical mechanism — not the electrical activity ...
