The ability to detect imminent threats and execute behaviors aimed at protecting oneself, such as hiding, running away or defending oneself, is central to the survival of most animal species. A region ...

The same memory can feel vivid and accessible one moment, yet stubbornly out of reach the next—even when the memory itself ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

Researchers discover that Alzheimer's-linked APP protein protects neurons by clearing toxic leaked nuclear waste via ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...
