Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

which encompass sensations that are captured through a body-wide receiver network that goes far beyond the brain itself Interestingly, biocomputing organoids—tiny clusters of human neurons deriv ...

Neuroscientists have identified the physical locations where memories are stored in the brain. But would that enable us to retrieve memories from someone who has died?

There is also a big difference between the number of neurons in the human brain compared with those of other animals. The human brain has about 1,000 times more neurons than the mouse brain ...

Now, by monitoring how neurons synchronize throughout the human brain during reading ... The study looked at what happens to single neurons firing in different cortical areas during ripples.

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other.

By Shawn BallardThe complexity of the human brain – 86 billion neurons strong with more than 100 trillion connections – ...
