Our appetites may be regulated by a circuit in our brains that is made up of three types of neurons, according to a new study ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

The brain remains the king of computers. The most sophisticated machines inspired by it, known as "neuromorphic," now comprise up to 100 million neurons, as many as the brain of a small mammal. These ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

The cerebellum, a major part of the hindbrain in all vertebrates, is important for motor coordination, language acquisition, and regulating social and emotional behaviors. A study led by Dr. Roy ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see -- but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers ...

Through pioneering neuromorphic computing research, Yiran Chen is developing brain-inspired hardware neurons that could lead ...

Retinal ganglion cells are a type of neuron found in the eye that are essential for vision A new study on zebrafish has found that a protein called Strip1 is required to keep these cells alive during ...
