Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

Now, researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet say they’ve found the clearest answer yet. They report the discovery of ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential ...

Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing ...

The team suspects that neurogenesis happens in other parts of the adult brain, too. In mice, new neurons are regularly made ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain's memory center, the hippocampus, ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...
