Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Understanding how the brain learns and applies rules is the key to unraveling the neural basis of flexible behavior. A new study from the University of Toyama, Japan, reveals that our ability to ...

MRI image of the brain with the lateral ventricles colored in blue. The ventricles are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Researchers led by Masako Tamaki at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan ...

March 4, 2011 (Boston, Massachusetts) — In a study designed to explore the potential of several molecules as biomarkers for HIV-mediated cognitive impairment, researchers at John Hopkins University, ...

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

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

The ‘glymphatic system’ — the flow of cerebrospinal fluid during sleep to flush out toxins and waste materials from the brain — plays an essential role in keeping the brain healthy. A new study, using ...
