For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

A team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside, explains in a paper published in PLOS Pathogens how a microscopic parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, can significantly disrupt brain function ...

A microscopic parasite quietly infects the brains of millions worldwide. Known scientifically as Toxoplasma gondii, this tiny invader silently alters brain function without obvious symptoms. Beneath ...

Researchers have reported that supplying healthy mitochondria to damaged nerve cells can reduce pain in models of diabetic ...

Chemists at the University of California San Diego have designed a set of molecules that promote microscopic, anatomical changes in neurons associated with the formation and retention of memories.

The characterisation of neuronal morphology lies at the heart of modern neuroscience, enabling a deeper understanding of how individual neurons contribute to the complex circuitry of the brain.

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

MIT researchers say they've developed microscopic "circulatronics" technology that could one day provide noninvasive brain ...

A newly developed imaging technique has enabled scientists to map microscopic fiber networks in the brain, muscles, and bones ...
