Scientists have developed a pioneering new method that uses deep learning and a new technique called 'targeted augmentation' to track neurons in moving and deforming animals. Recent advances allow ...

A male fruit fly in a laboratory chamber extends his wings and vibrates them to produce his species' version of a love song.

In October 2023, Neuroscience News reported research showing that the hippocampus does much more than store memories. Drawing ...

Researchers propose that placozoans, one of the simplest kinds of animals, may contain the blueprint for the neurons of more complex creatures. By Sam Jones For hundreds of millions of years, ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

Altering a protein in the neurons that coordinate a rattlesnake’s movement made a slow slither neuron more like a speedy rattle neuron, showing one way evolution can generate new ways of moving. In ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...
