What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. Neuroscience research often involves research from fields such as brain science, chemistry, computer science, engineering, linguistics, mathematics, artificial intelligence, robotics, neurology, medicine, philosophy, physics, and psychology.
Almost everyone has experienced one memory triggering another, but explanations for that phenomenon have proved elusive. Now, University of Pennsylvania...
For children with autism, being born several weeks early or several weeks late tends to increase the severity of their...
A new video game is helping to speed up neuroscience research by allowing players to reconstruct the architecture of neurons.
By simulating patterns of microvasculature cell growth and compare the results with real networks grown in lab, researchers hope to direct how they grow into the tiny blood vessels that feed the brain and help people regain functions lost to stroke and disease.
According to three new studies, numerous opportunities exist to improve the outcomes of TBI in older adults.
Scientists have long believed that glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive type of primary brain tumor, begins in glial cells that make up supportive tissue in the brain or in neural stem cells. Researchers found that the tumors can originate from other types of differentiated cells in the nervous system, including cortical neurons.
Open sharing of scientific data and standard methods will allow researchers to collaborate on projects and accelerate understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.
Scientists developed a method for decoding neural circuit diagrams. Using measurements of total neuronal activity, they can determine the probability that two neurons are connected with each other.
Regular use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs may be associated with a modest reduction in risk for developing Parkinson disease, particularly...
By watching individual neurons at work, a group of psychologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has revealed just how stress can addle the mind, as well as how neurons in the brain's prefrontal cortex help remember information in the first place.
Herpes and other viruses that attack the nervous system may thrive by disrupting cell function in order to hijack a...
