Understanding the computational principles that govern brain function is one of neuroscience’s most enduring challenges. How ...

We tend to think of the brain as being made up of highly specialised cells, but a study in mice suggests that most neurons are generalists ...

Pioneering researchers shared how patient-derived brain organoids are being used to study autism. The models have uncovered ...

Why can zebrafish regenerate damaged gut nerves while humans largely cannot? Michigan State University researchers have developed a new research tool that allows them to remove gut neurons in ...

For years, scientists have known that the heart has its own network of nerves, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS), ...

A new mouse study led by UCLA Health suggests that inflammation during pregnancy can trigger autism-like changes in offspring, but also that those brain and behavior effects may be rapidly but ...

Recent research published in Science Advances has found that increasing the levels of a specific protective protein in the ...

A study in mice reveals how pregnancy hormones influence the brain’s reward system, helping explain why newborns become a ...

When Mriganka Sur was a student at IIT Kanpur, there was no neuroscience department. Today, IISc Bengaluru, NIMHANS, and Haryana’s National Brain Research Centre are investigating the complexities of ...

Every heartbeat is choreographed not just by the brain but also by a mysterious nervous system embedded in the heart itself. Now, scientists studying mice have started to unravel how this complex ...

New research suggests traveling brain waves in the visual cortex help humans predict, reconstruct, and perceive the physical world.
