Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

A new study suggests that cognitive loss in patients with brain metastases may be due to the interference that cancer produces in neuronal circuits. When cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

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

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

WASHINGTON – A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity ...

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

The root of humans’ unique intelligence is a perennial question, but one that scientists recently approached from a completely new angle. Past research centered around structural differences between ...
