New pocket-size model of ALS 'breathes and flows like human tissue'
A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.
Can your brain run out of memory?
Your memory relies on reusing, overlapping and adapting rather than on a fixed number of storage spots.
Can adults make new brain cells? New study may finally settle one of neuroscience's greatest debates
Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing controversy in neuroscience.
Zapping the brain may help boost math skills, study hints
A study suggests that carefully controlled electrical stimulation of the brain may improve math skills, most significantly in people with weaker connections in a specific part of the brain.
Ketamine may treat depression by 'flattening the brain's hierarchies,' small study suggests
Ketamine leads to increased communication between areas of the brain that don't typically engage with each other, new research suggests.
Does the color purple really exist?
The color purple is, in a way, invented by our brains.
Star-shaped brain cells may underpin the brain's massive memory storage
A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research.
'Rubber paw illusion': Mice can 'sense' artificial limbs, just as humans do
Scientists have introduced a new laboratory model that could help them study how artificial limbs can be better designed.
