This valuable study addressed a key question in epilepsy research: whether the recordings of very fast oscillations in the brain (>250Hz, fast ripples) reflect underlying pathology or might be a ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded.

Researchers at WashU Medicine have uncovered new molecular insights into Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other ...

A migratory bird brain, the Eurasian blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla), has been mapped for the first time using high-resolution light microscopy. The open-source software tools and detailed ...

Webs of star-shaped cells called astrocytes connect distant parts of the brain, allowing long-distance exchange of molecules.

Distinct cerebellar projections to the forebrain differentially support acquisition and offline consolidation of a motor skill engaging cerebello-striato-cortical circuits, revealing the temporal and ...

While past research has hinted at an overlap in relevant brain regions, the new work drills down to the cellular level. The ...

The Individual Brain Charting (IBC) project has released its fifth and largest update of high-resolution fMRI data, adding a new set of cognitive tasks to one of the most detailed brain-mapping ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that clusters of brain tissue derived from the cells of patients ...

Princeton researchers have combined brain cells and advanced electronics into a single 3D device that can be programmed to ...

Researchers uncovered how estrogen subtly reshapes learning by strengthening dopamine reward signals in the brain. Rats learned faster when estrogen levels were high and struggled when the hormone’s ...

Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.
