New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

Scientists once believed a brain with billions of neurons was a requirement for intelligence. After all, that’s why you’re able to think – neurons are the nerve cells in the brain that connect and ...

A new study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the ...

Meta Brain & AI Research Team Head Jean-Rémi King says that the research isn’t geared towards making a marketable device.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

As the U.S. population ages, more adults are developing thinking and memory problems, called mild cognitive impairment.

With the strong associations established in epidemiologic studies and a dearth of evidence on the actual mechanisms by which ...

According to Jean-Rémi King, leader of Meta’s “Brain & AI” research team, the system is able to determine what letter a ...

This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...

In a novel theory, scientists at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute propose a unifying explanation for the ...
