In a study published in Nature Neuroscience, Du Jiuli's group and Mu Yu's group at the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 6, 2025 – A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and ...

Scientists often use blood flow in the brain as a stand-in for neural activity. Generally, increases in neural activity are accompanied by increases in blood flow. But an array of studies over the ...

A new way of imaging the brain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not directly detect neural activity as originally reported, according to scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute. The method, ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

MIT researchers have developed a self-organizing 'pencil beam' laser that produces 3D images of the human blood-brain barrier 25 times faster than current gold-standard methods, without losing ...
