Cambridge researchers are developing implants to help repair brain pathways damaged by Parkinson’s disease. As part of a £69 ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...

The SYNGAP1 gene, which supports the production of a protein called SynGAP (Synaptic Ras GTPase-Activating Protein), is known ...

A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that different brain regions activated by creative tasks are part of one common brain circuit.

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.

Using a novel deep learning approach, we evaluated the predictive power of the functional connectome during various states (resting state, movie-watching, and n-back) on episodic memory and working ...

Can immune cells protect your brain? Yes! Tregs act as gatekeepers, controlling inflammation and supporting memory formation in the hippocampus.

Meningitis is an infection that causes the thin layers of the meninges that surround the brain and spinal cord to become inflamed, explains Dr. Rodrigo Hasbun, an infectious diseases professor at ...

Using tiny nanopillars, they mimic the soft neural tissue and the brain extracellular matrix fibers. This model provides new insights into how neurons form networks, as well as a novel tool to ...

Tregs dwelling at the brain border act as gatekeepers The meninges, three protective tissue layers under ... Mathis' team is currently studying this very question using a mouse model of Alzheimer's ...
