Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

FAYETTEVILLE, GA, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of ...

Cryosleep’ remains the preserve of science fiction, but researchers are getting closer to restoring brain function after deep freezing.

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is ...

A new study is illuminating how “forever chemicals” can alter our brain cells by impairing the genes that maintain healthy neurons, the cells of our nervous system. Scientists are only beginning to ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the current situation. A new study shows that neural variability increases ...
