A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how ...

Our guts are home to trillions of bacteria, and research over the last few decades has established how essential they are to ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

Scientists develop groundbreaking dual-action drug RI-AG03 that targets toxic tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease, showing ...

Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

It's not just that you start to slowly (or sometimes not so slowly) begin losing your mental capacity as you age — your brain actually gets smaller the older you get, shrinking about 5% per decade ...

Discover how individual neurons in the brain learn to recognize and predict patterns in the flow of time, providing insights into the structure of time.

Rutgers Health researchers have discovered that brain immune cells from people with a high genetic risk for alcohol use ...
