Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Neurons selective to running trajectories in the rat anterior cingulate cortex are reactivated during observation and interact with hippocampal replay to guide subsequent spatial navigation.

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...
