A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

Dopamine neurons in a part of the brain called the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral ...

Midbrain neurons are susceptible to energy shortages as they age, which may explain their degeneration in Parkinson’s disease ...

Scientists mapped brain activity across the day and found the same neurons create completely different networks depending on ...

Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface startup that seeks to read brain activity using ultrasound, is being spun out of ...

New research has provided the first ever population-based data on the frequency of Alzheimer’s disease neuropathological changes (ADNC) – a key causal factor behind the development of dementia – and ...

The Australian research, which aims to help people with motor neuron disease keep moving, is now testing AI to personalise ...
