Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

A new MIT study that focuses on a single cell in one of nature's simplest nervous systems provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors.

A study published in Cell Stem Cell on February 5, 2026, traces a direct signaling chain from sleep-deprived brains to ...

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

Oregon Health & Science University researchers have found that certain nerves that play an integral role in the body’s “fight or flight” stress response can support pancreatic tumor growth. These ...

Researchers from the DZNE have solved an important puzzle in neurobiology: the wiring and the movement of nerve cells are interwoven, but separately controlled. The study focuses on neuronal growth ...

Researchers warn that implanted nerve cuff electrodes can trigger unintended nerve stimulation and pain during MRI scans.

In C. elegans worms, a single neuron named HSN uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes. A new MIT study that focuses on a ...
