In October 2023, Neuroscience News reported research showing that the hippocampus does much more than store memories. Drawing ...

Research findings are available online in the journal Nature Metabolism. The original story “ Sweating may naturally suppress ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

Recent experimental findings suggest that the hippocampus, the brain region primarily associated with memory and navigation, actively reorganizes its neural patterns to anticipate future events.

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

The neuron’s inner scaffold, once viewed as static support, now looks like a gatekeeper. Research findings are available ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...
