Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

WASHINGTON — Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date, using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an ...

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter? One of the most useful models for studying these questions is ...

Buffalo, N.Y. -- Chronic exposure to cocaine reduces the expression of a protein known to regulate brain plasticity, according to new, in vivo research on the molecular basis of cocaine addiction.

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...
