The claustrum complex, a small yet powerful region in the brain, has intrigued scientists for years. Found across mammalian ...

Place cells are neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, that help the brain keep track of the body’s location in space. Arrays of these cells form a cognitive map, firing off electrical ...

Ripples maintain time-locked occurrence across the septo-temporal axis and hemispheres while showing local phase coupling, revealing a dual mode of synchrony in CA1 network dynamics.

A new study shows how individual brain cells in the hippocampus respond to pronouns. "This may help us unravel how we remember what we read." Read the following sentence: "Donald Trump and Kamala ...

A classic psychedelic, similar to LSD, psilocybin and mescalin, was found to activate a cell type in the brain that silences other neighboring neurons, a result that provides insight into how such ...

What am I looking at? This image shows a 1-millimeter-thick coronal slice (from top to bottom) through the brain of a mouse, with neurons that produce somatostatin in purple (1) and pyramidal neurons ...

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...
