When you look at foods, a specialized part of your visual cortex lights up, according to a new study from MIT neuroscientists.

Researchers discovered that increasing the production of new neurons in mice with Alzheimer’s disease rescues the animals’ memory defects.

Science may be one step closer to understanding where consciousness resides in the brain and the importance of certain neural connections.

Experiences are stored in the hippocampus, the brain structure long considered the seat of memory, the details are parsed elsewhere.

AI technology enables learning of the stiffness levels and distributions of the tumor, suggesting the possibility of cancer diagnosis.

What most people don’t know is that it’s actually the brain behind why you feel sick. It’s a result of the immune system kicking into gear.

The administration of autotaxin inhibitors can thereby significantly reduce both excessive food intake after fasting and obesity.

Our brains have billions of highly calibrated nerve cells or neurons, and each neuron has thousands of connections to other neurons.

The most obvious symptoms of Parkinson’s disease arise after the illness damages a specific class of neuron located in the midbrain.

In a Cedars-Sinai study, researchers have discovered two types of brain cells that play a key role in dividing continuous human experience.

Activating neurons by ultrasound is a step towards a non-invasive retinal prosthesis that works without invasive eye surgeries.

The diseases covered by the test belong to a class of over 50 diseases caused by unusually-long repetitive DNA sequences in a person’s genes

Researchers demonstrated how dendrites help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain.

The findings indicate that some of the neurons detected are active exclusively during additions, while others are active during subtractions
