Neurons intertwine with small blood vessels in the brain, but how do the two communicate? With elaborate three-dimensional reconstructions of electron microscopy images, scientists led by Jie-Min Jia, ...

Researchers discovered a brain circuit that drives vocalization and ensures that you talk only when you breathe out, and stop talking when you breathe in. This circuit is under control of a brainstem ...

Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, a team of researchers in China used an in vitro co-culture of adipocytes, cardiomyocytes, and sympathetic neurons to examine the ...

Scientists have identified neurons that are active when mouse pups interact with their mothers, appearing to reduce their distress. The same neurons may also be involved in human mother-child bonding.

The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- MIT researchers have discovered a brain circuit that drives vocalization and ensures that you talk only when you breathe out, and stop talking when you breathe in. The newly ...
