Stem cell therapy reversed stroke damage in mice, regenerating neurons and restoring movement. The findings bring scientists ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

Biocomputers, once considered science fiction, are becoming today’s reality as scientists have edged closer to the creation ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

A new study concludes that the speed at which the human brain evolved may help explain why our species experiences autism.

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...

UMass Amherst engineers create low-voltage artificial neurons using bacterial nanowires, promising efficient bio-inspired ...
