Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using this approach, they were able to trace connections among thousands of ...

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 ...

The circadian clock, an internal timekeeping system, enables organisms to respond to rhythmic environmental changes occurring over 24 hours. The master circadian clock located in the brain regulates ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

The discovery offers a new way to potentially treat some serious conditions ...
