A study on bats' flight pinpoints the neurons that tell us which way we are headed.

The team used the help of a tiny, 3D-printed harness to keep the spiders in place while conducting their experiments.

Dr. Carla Shatz, PhD, discusses her illustrious career in the latest interview.

In an ecosystem within us, microbes evolved to sway food choices

Researchers from The University of Western Australia have shown that electromagnetic stimulation can alter brain organisation which may make your brain work better.

Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine offer an amazing strategy to reduce sensitivity to pain

In a new study, Brown University neuroscientists looked cell-by-cell at the brain circuitry that tadpoles, and possibly other animals, use to avoid collisions. The study produced a model of how individual inhibitory and excitatory neurons can work together to control a simple behavior.

It may be that, when it comes to stock market success, your brain is heeding the wrong neural signals.

Anesthesia makes otherwise painful procedures possible by derailing a conscious brain, rendering it incapable of sensing or responding to a surgeon’s knife. But little research exists on what happens when the drugs wear off.

When it comes to the brain, wiring isn’t everything. Although neurobiologists often talk in electrical metaphors, the reality is that the brain is not nearly as simple as a series of wires and circuits. Unlike their copper counterparts, neurons can behave differently depending on the situation.
