Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

At one busy exhibit at the 2024 Beckman Institute Open House, visitors donned headbands with sensors and focused on foam balls hovering above small fans. It seemed like the visitors simply watched the ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

For hundreds of years, scientists have tried to understand the human brain — known as the most complex organ in the universe. The average human brain contains about 86 billion nerve cells, called ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Place cells are neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, that help the brain keep track of the body’s location in space. Arrays of these cells form a cognitive map, firing off electrical ...

As its whiskers flitter, the mouse’s brain sparks with activity. A tiny implant records the electrical chatter and beams it to a nearby computer. Smaller than a grain of salt, the implant is powered ...
