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

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 ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.

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

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Closely related dopamine-releasing neurons in the olfactory bulb behave in fundamentally different ways depending on their physical structure.

New research has settled the debate between ‘kiss-and-run’ and ‘full-collapse’ fusion to explain how neurons transmit signals across synapses. Scientists from the University of Science and Technology ...

Brown researchers developed an “asynchronous wireless network” for microelectronic chips to transmit and receive data from biomedical devices using a system that mimics how neurons in the brain ...

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system are ...

SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I analyze the recently announced ...
