For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...
