Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Dual-technique breakthrough: By merging SMLM’s ultra-high resolution with SIM’s ability to capture motion, researchers can build a richer picture of neuron structure and activity. Impact on ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...

New research shows our brains store not just facts, but also movement patterns, in structured, graph-like mental maps. These mental graphs connect visual cues with motor actions, and insights from ...
