New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Insights from advanced imaging technology show how neurons communicate at the atomic level for the first time. For the first time, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) used advanced ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...
