Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure and limited treatment options.

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cluster of brain cells that may help explain differences in social behavior ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

A salt-grain-sized neural implant can record and transmit brain activity wirelessly for extended periods. Researchers at Cornell University, working with collaborators, have created an extremely small ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...
