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 ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about digital healthcare, biotech & innovation in medicine. Restoring function to a specific type of nerve cell in the ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

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 ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...

A study from UCLA neurologists challenges the idea that the brain recruits existing neurons to take over for those that are lost from stroke. It shows that in mice, undamaged neurons do not change ...
