The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in Developmental Cell, scientists show how neurons establish their connections ...

New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...

Understanding why we always have room for dessert could lead to new treatments for obesity, researchers have revealed.

Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the ...

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.

Tectum, the next-generation performance-driven blockchain, has officially launched Tectum 4.0 - its public Layer-1 mainnet, ...

Motor neurons can be subdivided into lower motor neurons and upper motor neurons located in the brain and spinal cord. The differences between upper and lower motor neurons involve the level of ...

The intricate relationship between dietary habits and cognitive function is gaining increasing attention, with a focus on the gut-brain axis as a modifiable target for intervention. This review ...

Broccoli is a good source of vitamin C, an important antioxidant for healthy brain function. Healthy adults with higher vitamin C levels in the blood performed better on cognitive tests that measured ...

Hacking can help scientists learn about the functions of different groups of neurons. They can activate several brain cells at the same time and observe their effects on the body. Healthline has ...
