Three centers, one vision, built over decades around a single, enormously difficult question: Can we read the neural circuitry of bipolar disorder before the disorder reads the patient? Recently, her ...

The human brain contains more connections between neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way. Decoding the electrical activity behind all those cells is the massive task that excites neural ...

Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and Tufts University have engineered tiny living constructs from frog ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

This framework was applied to neural recordings from animals receiving one of the three anesthetics—propofol, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Brain stimulation might sound like some Frankensteinian demonstration from a Victorian science fair. But in reality, it is a contemporary technique making a huge impact in neuroscience by addressing a ...

NEW YORK, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nilo Therapeutics, a biotechnology company harnessing neural circuits to restore immune homeostasis in disease, launched today with a $101 million Series A ...

Researchers discover the SELK neuron, a single-cell decision-maker in fruit flies that weighs sweet vs. bitter signals to determine whether to eat or flee.

Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things at certain times, and sweets at other times? The answers, according to new ...
