A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect tens of millions of people worldwide. Among these, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are the most common; in the United States alone, the Alzheimer's Disease ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

Neurons are unique in that they are the only cell type in the body to display massive diversity in cell size, morphology, phenotype, and function both within individuals and across species. Previous ...

The researchers found that specific neurons increased their electrical firing rate just before certain components of speech, ...
