Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

His new book, about the mystery of consciousness, strengthens the case that technology will never truly replicate humans.

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Study finds SuperAgers in their 80s and 90s produce twice as many young neurons as healthy adults and 2.5 times more than ...

Recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities for the development of smart prosthetics, such as artificial limbs, joints or organs that can replace injured, damaged or amputated ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

You may already be familiar with ALS, especially if you took part in the viral ice bucket challenge to raise awareness of the ...
