New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help ...

Filippo Beleggia, MD, PhD, didn’t believe his own data. As a postdoctoral researcher, he spent years in the laboratory of Christian Reinhardt, MD, PhD, at the University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, ...
