Recordings from 112 epilepsy patients link specific amygdala neurons to later image recognition, suggesting a broader role ...

Scientists have identified a gene called Pla2g2f that may help protect the aging brain from memory loss, offering new clues ...

Does the human brain still hold the edge over artificial intelligence? This video examines the 3-lb biological "supercomputer ...

The black box of the human brain is starting to open. Although animal models are instrumental in shaping our understanding of the mammalian brain, scarce human data is uncovering important ...

Data from mouse brains and 13 human brains show a link between levels of a lipid-degrading and cognitive resilience, ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological mechanism in memory formation: ripple-type brain waves—high-frequency electrical ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have developed a new class of programmable nanofluidic memristors that mimic the memory functions of the human brain, paving ...

What Bruner calls “braking,” the Yale neuroscientist Amy Arnsten calls “regulation”—specifically, calcium regulation, which ...

Japanese scientists have identified a soy-derived compound that improved memory and social behavior in mice exposed to excessive salt. The findings reveal a potential link between salt consumption and ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.
