It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

As AI agents replace apps, we’re entering an Instruct/Verify era where software and hardware act on our behalf, reshaping ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

OpenAI, Google, and Moonshot AI are ushering in agentic AI systems that investigate, coordinate, and verify tasks beyond ...

A study led by researchers at the University of Camerino in Italy found that the fatty insulation protecting neurons can be harmed when we go without sleep, compromising our mental processing. Through ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...

Researchers have engineered a therapy that moves through the bloodstream, enters the brain, and begins fixing the damage left ...

Koch, who studied vision, thought that by measuring people's brain responses as they looked at special optical illusions, ...
