By combining psilocybin with a modified rabies virus that tracks neural connections, they mapped how networks change after a ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a schematic and more like living tissue. Instead of treating neurons as ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever suggested. A wave of new research is revealing hidden layers in the brain’s ...

This potentially valuable cross-sectional longitudinal study leverages high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to examine its effect on ...

Objectives To date, consistent evidence for consequences of heading in football (soccer) on the structure and function of the ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...
