The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Associate Professor Mario Lanza and his team demonstrated a groundbreaking silicon transistor that mimics neural and synaptic behaviours, marking a significant breakthrough in neuromorphic computing.

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the brain’s most important properties is its flexibility ...

Synaptic vesicles act as the brain’s chemical couriers, transporting neurotransmitters between cells. When a nerve impulse arrives, these vesicles fuse with the neuron’s membrane and release their ...
