In a study published in Nature Neuroscience, Du Jiuli's group and Mu Yu's group at the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and ...

A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and touch. When a person feels ...

The brain is a black box of densely packed neurons, blood vessels and immune cells, all locked away in a sealed skull.

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

A new way of imaging the brain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not directly detect neural activity as originally reported, according to scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute. The method, ...

MIT engineers used voltage imaging to map single electrical spikes across nearly a whole zebrafish brain at 200 scans per ...

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 6, 2025 – A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and ...
