Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Explore new insights into neurodegenerative therapies as researchers observe learning mechanisms in the living brain.

A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...

Researchers have solved an important puzzle in neurobiology: the wiring and the movement of nerve cells are interwoven, but separately controlled. The study focuses on neuronal growth and migration: ...

Much like tree branches, hundreds of axons extend from neurons during development. These axons serve as information highways that enable neurons to communicate with different cells across the body.
