Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

“Do you think all mental conditions have a physical component in the brain?” someone once asked me. “Absolutely!” I answered. Then I qualified that I didn’t believe the mind and brain are the same nor ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Insights from advanced imaging technology show how neurons communicate at the atomic level for the first time. For the first time, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) used advanced ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet incoming messages are the release of ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

When you are feeling hungry, the brain takes the necessary steps toward consuming a meal. Many of these steps are not well known, but a new study published in the journal Metabolism by researchers at ...
