New research reveals how psilocybin reshapes connections across the brain, helping explain how it can ease depression symptoms for weeks or even months.

A new framework that causes artificial neural networks to mimic how real neural networks operate in the brain has been ...

How the brain gets wired up matters. Consider the neurons involved in the sense of smell. Hook them up wrong, and suddenly ...

Fear of the Dark Actually Protects Your Ancient Brain What seems like childish nonsense actually reveals sophisticated brain ...

Washington State University researchers have discovered how a neural circuit – or a connection between two brain regions – drives relapse after opioid use, a finding that could lead to more effective ...

By rewiring a fruit fly brain, researchers have identified attractive and repulsive molecules that drive brain circuit ...

An international collaboration led by Cornell University researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to ...

In the brain, molecular information is transmitted between cells through neural circuits. Synapses establish connections between the pathways that run from one area to another, allowing the most ...

A new study proposes that autism arises when genetic vulnerability, an early environmental trigger, and prolonged activation of the cellular stress response align during critical developmental windows ...

When it comes to brain function, neurons get a lot of the glory. But healthy brains depend on the cooperation of many kinds ...
