Rutgers researchers found that the distribution of neural timescales across the cortex plays a crucial role in how ...

Scientists exploring how the brain responds to stress discovered molecular changes that can influence behavior long after an experience ends. They also identified natural resilience systems that help ...

For decades, scientists have looked at various mechanisms responsible for the decline of our mental faculties as we age. A new discovery shows that the accumulation of a certain protein called the ...

Scientists are closing in on the brain’s internal circuitry for hunger, revealing a surprisingly precise “off switch” that ...

Brain preserved in formaldehyde. — Gaetan Lee (CC BY 2.0) Brain preserved in formaldehyde. — Gaetan Lee (CC BY 2.0) Scientists have discovered a brain “pain switch” that prioritises survival needs ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Scientists have uncovered how aging alters tryptophan metabolism in the brain, linking a longevity protein to ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...
