Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz have trained lab-grown brain organoids to solve a goal-directed task, ...

Imagine balancing a ruler upright in the palm of the hand: There is a need to continually pay attention to the angle of the ...

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

Researchers identify brain neurons that become active after exercise and help determine how much endurance improves with repeated training.

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

Scientists created an AI tool that detects a fruit fly’s courtship song as it begins and instantly switches off specific brain cells.

The neuron’s inner scaffold, once viewed as static support, now looks like a gatekeeper. Research findings are available ...

Researchers discovered that a lattice-like skeleton beneath neuron membranes regulates endocytosis, controlling nutrient and protein uptake.

New research uncovers how the brain, immune system, and nervous system contribute to heart attack damage, revealing three ...

A heart attack occurs when arteries become clogged, blood flow is restricted, and oxygen is cut off. The standard approach to studying them is to treat the heart as an isolated organ. However, new ...
