A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...

A new study shows a simple nasal spray that reduces brain inflammation, improves memory, and may slow aging related brain ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by ...

The same brain cells activate when you see something and when you imagine it, helping explain why mental images can feel so ...

Northwestern University researchers have taken a step toward bridging electronics and the human brain ...

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity. We started thinking: 'What if we could light up the brain from the inside?

Certain brain cells are responsible for coordinating smooth, controlled movements of the body. But when those cells are constantly overactivated for weeks on end, they degenerate and ultimately die.

The device could help address multiple neurological conditions if it proves successful. One early use could be delivering ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
