Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...
