Is endurance all in your head? A new study reveals that VMH neurons in the brain direct the body to boost physical stamina.

Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Researchers have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

How do worms navigate? A new study maps the whole-brain circuit of C. elegans, revealing how neurons and the chemical tyramine coordinate purposeful movement toward odors.

Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields.
