WASHINGTON – A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication ...

Mouse study provides insights into communication between neurons during decision-making. Scientists have gained new insights into how neurons in the brain communicate during a decision, and how the ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages between neurons with unprecedented speed and sensitivity. Dramatic performance ...

A team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside, explains in a paper published in PLOS Pathogens how a microscopic parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, can significantly disrupt brain function ...

The root of humans’ unique intelligence is a perennial question, but one that scientists recently approached from a completely new angle. Past research centered around structural differences between ...
