Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the ...

Changing levels of the brain protein KCC2 can alter how reward associations form, reshaping the learning process that links ...

Princeton scientists found that the brain uses reusable “cognitive blocks” to create new behaviors quickly.

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...

Scientists mapped brain activity across the day and found the same neurons create completely different networks depending on ...

A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity of a specific ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

A shift in a single brain protein can reshape how cues turn into habits, opening new possibilities for treating addiction and neurological disorders.

A missing brain molecule may be disrupting neural wiring in Down syndrome, according to new research. Replacing it in adult ...

A significant, long-term reduction in calorie consumption resulted in a slowing of aging in the brain, according to a study ...
