A Nature study reveals that astrocytes form selective, plastic gap junction networks linking specific brain regions, which can reorganize in adults after sensory deprivation. Using a novel in vivo ...

Stress influences what we learn and remember. The hormone cortisol, which is released during stressful situations, can make emotional memories in particular stronger. But how exactly does cortisol ...

A new noninvasive neurostimulation technique capable of reaching deep regions of the brain has been used to elucidate the ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new ...

Researchers mapped brain-wide astrocyte networks that link distant regions, proving these "support cells" have their own long ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice showed. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that have ...

Scientists have made a major advance in developmental neuroscience, creating the very first detailed atlas of how the vascular network of a mouse's brain grows after birth. Their study is published in ...

Can AI learn by shrinking? A new study introduces a development-inspired continual learning framework for spiking neural ...
