By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

"The ghost is no longer in the machine. The machine is becoming the ghost." The post Researchers Upload Fly’s Brain to Matrix, Let It Control Virtual Body appeared first on Futurism.

Adults over 80 who score as well on memory tests as people decades younger are not simply lucky. A new study published in Nature finds that these individuals, known as super-agers, generate at least ...

Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early childhood ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song, or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
