In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists have found that the brain's internal GPS changes each time we navigate a familiar, static environment.

This study reveals how probiotic bacteria directly influence brain cell function, highlighting gut-brain communication and potential therapeutic applications.

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

Homeostatic plasticity, the brain's method of preserving equilibrium in neural circuits, relies heavily on spontaneous ...

New ultra-sensitive optical instruments can detect high-frequency dynamics of neuronal voltage indicators to image brain activity in mice.
