Neuroscientists have documented a link between spatial and verbal reasoning by scanning students’ brains while taking a course that emphasized spatial learning.

New study shows that microglia cells ‘listen in’ to neighboring neurons and change to match them.

A biomedical engineer has developed a way to measure mental activity using electrodermal activity (EDA) — an electrical phenomenon of the skin that is influenced by brain activity related to emotional status. They describe a novel inference engine tha…

Researchers have revealed how the pathway of an identified protein could lead to early diagnosis and targeted treatment for several cancers and brain disorders.

Investigators have created the most bio-realistic and complex computer models of individual brain cells — in unparalleled quantity. Their research details how these models could one day answer questions about neurological disorders — and even human i…

A historically overlooked rod-like projection present on nearly every cell type in the human body may finally be getting its scientific due: A new study has found that these appendages, called cilia, on neurons in the brain have a key role in ensuring …
