A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

Stress worsens sleep quality and can impair memory. Shinjae Chung, from the University of Pennsylvania, led a study to explore a neural pathway in male mice that stress may influence to cause sleep ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

In Speak, Memory, Vladimir Nabokov reflects on his past with such vivid clarity that people and places seem suspended in time, untethered from specific moments. His recollections evoke the feeling ...

As detailed in a Stanford-led study published in Nature, researchers successfully created a replica of a neuronal pathway responsible for pain transmission in a lab dish called an “assembloid.” The ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Craig S. Smith, Eye on AI host and former NYT writer, covers AI. Seven years and seven months ago, Google changed the world with ...
