New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

On the computer screens, the mouse brain is shown from several angles. Then you click, and a small area of the brain is ...

For some time, the field of neuroscience has been predominantly "neurocentric," viewing neurons as the primary agents of information processing while ...

With a four-year, $2.7M NIH grant, Hopkins researchers are developing an AI-powered imaging system that can capture brain activity 20 to 50 times faster than current tools ...

The Wiley Foundation honored research into connectomes — detailed atlases of the brain that map out thousands of neurons and the millions of connection between them.

Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may begin in early life, a drug long-approved for other conditions might be ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

Researchers found that neurons can use fat, not just sugar, to power the brain. When a protein called DDHD2 fails, this process breaks down and leads to serious brain problems. Scientists were able to ...

Once in the brain, lung cancer cells can plug themselves into the electrical circuitry there and grow, a study of mice shows. The results, published September 10 in Nature, highlight the deep and ...

Annalisa (Nalis) Merelli is a contributing writer at STAT focused on boys’ and men’s health. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a disease of the dead. Clinical features suggestive of the ...
