Researchers discover that the nerve cells that make us uniquely human are also uniquely vulnerable to dying during the waves ...

A group of nerve cells essential for cognition may be especially vulnerable to DNA damage upon exposure to inflammation in MS.

A hidden mechanism in MS may be damaging neurons at their genetic core, offering a potential new way to slow the disease.

For decades, multiple sclerosis research has focused on myelin, the insulation around the brain's wiring. Scientists paid ...

Research into mice from UT Southwestern and other institutions shows brain cells help the body run farther and faster.

When the stomach is full, how does the brain know to stop eating? Scientists long assumed the answer lies mainly with neurons ...

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

Your brain’s “stop eating” signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes—once thought to just support neurons—actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by ...

Cortical Labs says the stunt points toward a new kind of low-power computing—and perhaps a new way to study neurological ...
