It's only during the last few decades that neuroglia, a diverse group of cells found in the brain that perform a variety of ...

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has ...

New research reveals that cells outside the brain can store and process memories, challenging the view that memory is limited ...

The brain is the most complicated object in the universe. It contains more than 89 billion neurons, each connected to around 7,000 other neurons that send between ten and 100 signals every second.

Scientists discovered that memory formation isn’t limited to the brain. Non-brain cells can activate memory genes, responding ...

UC Davis scientists uncover cells in the amygdala tied to anxiety and depression. This breakthrough could redefine treatments.

A new study changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons that respond to learning events and control memory recall.

Neuroscientists have discovered brain cells that form multiple coordinate systems to tell us "where we are" in a sequence of behaviors.

The brain, traditionally considered an immune-privileged organ due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), has its own sophisticated immune defense system.

Generating a complete multimodal cell census and atlas of the mouse brain through collaborative data collection, tool development and analysis. This atlas combines single-cell transcriptomic ...
