Researchers have developed tiny, wireless devices capable of wrapping around individual neurons, potentially aiding in the ...

The findings reveal that BNC2 neurons, when activated by leptin and possibly other signals, not only suppress appetite but also alleviate the negative feelings associated with hunger. Remarkably, ...

Torrents of data from cell atlases, brain organoids and other methods are finally delivering answers to an age-old question.

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a precise ...
