Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses.

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands ...

Printed artificial neurons generate realistic brain-like signals that activate living neurons. Device uses flexible, low-cost ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Each year, the Kopernik Observatory partners with Binghamton University to host a special day of kids activities in honor of ...

A single week of intensive meditation and mind-body practices led to measurable changes across the brain and body. Researchers observed improved brain efficiency, boosted immune signaling, and ...

Where does imagination come from? A new fMRI study in Neuron reveals that mental imagery emerges from the brain's association ...
