New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...

A recent study reveals that the human brain can continue producing new cells, maintaining sharpness even into the 80s, but this process is disrupted by Alzheimer's disease.

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

Unlearning fear responses is a fundamental learning process in the brain. It allows us to flexibly react to formerly ...

In a wild experiment, it turns out a few human neurons linked up to some custom silicon can actually play Doom.

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, it was widely accepted that neurons relied exclusively on glucose to fuel their functions in the brain. This is not ...
