Retinal, a derivative of vitamin A, works in various ways to improve the appearance of your skin. Here’s how to determine how ...

The brain is a marvel of efficiency, honed by thousands of years of evolution so it can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Yet, despite decades of research, the mystery of how the brain ...

Neuroscientists have identified specialized brain cells that form flexible "coordinate systems" to help us track where we are within a sequence of actions.

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions.

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

It is comparatively easy to tell a cell's state of health: On their surface, cells present fragments of almost all the proteins they contain inside. This means the immune system can directly recognize ...

Neuroscientists have discovered brain cells that form multiple coordinate systems to tell us "where we are" in a sequence of behaviors. These cells can play out different sequences of actions, just ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

To understand how the mice learned the general structure of the task, the researchers used silicon probes that allowed them to record the activity of multiple individual cells from an area of the ...
