USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Dr. Lucy L. Brown, a neuroscientist and professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine who has studied the neural basis ...

How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain's lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand ...

A sudden flash of insight is a product of your brain. Neuroscientists track the neural activity underlying an “aha” and how ...

Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence ...

In this system, the implanted computer chip would not just sit on the brain, but become part of the brain. Using a technology ...

Anxiety is a mental health condition millions of people around the world experience every day but not something that can necessarily be “seen”—until now. In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists at ...

From galaxies to neurons, the universe might be more connected than we think. Joe Scott explores the idea that the cosmic web — the vast network linking galaxies — functions much like a brain. Could ...

Tools like intraoperative MRI and 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence are fundamentally changing the approach to ...

How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain's lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand how it works have pushed the boundaries of brain-imaging technologies.

Brain cell signals travel along axons, the thin wire-like extensions of neurons, moving signals along the membrane in a pearl-like shape.
