Reconstructions of adult-born neurons. Left to right: age 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, and 24 weeks. Adult-born neurons continue to undergo significant morphological modifications…
MIT engineers have designed a “brain-on-a-chip,” smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as…
Rife with obstacles and occlusions, terrestrial environments potentially helped give rise to planning circuits in the brain. New simulations show that living among land’s rich…
Feeling disconnected from others is reflected by how the brain represents relationships. Social media sites aren’t the only things that keep track of your social…
Three-dimensional virtual reconstruction of the braincase of the ankylosaur Bissektipelta archibaldi. Bones are semi-transparent and the internal contents of the endocranial cavity are seen. Pink…
Billiard-like break shot to cell-membrane structures triggers brain’s loss of consciousness from anesthesia, scientists find. Surgery would be inconceivable without general anesthesia, so it may…
