In our own Milky Way, a recently deceased star creates a ghostly, hand-like shape in X-rays some 150 light-years wide. Here's how it's made.
The findings suggest that biochemical and physical effects of exercise could help heal nerves.
Scientists have created a magnificent portrait of every connection among neurons in a fruit fly’s brain.
“The field is endless, but my life is limited, as are all of ours. But you do what you can with your time,” says CSO Mart Saarma.
There are hints that it could lead to new treatments for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other brain disorders.
Neuroscientists think a cluster of cells in the brain that stimulate appetite could be a target for eating disorder therapies.
Researchers are looking at neurons required for touch-mediated pain relief.
Flexible organic circuits might someday hook right into your head.
Their neurons are very different from "normal" people.
These salamanders are helping unlock the mysteries of brain evolution and regeneration.
When we feel sick, it's not just the pathogen to blame. Our brain cranks up the temperature, and the neurons responsible finally have been found.
Experiments cannot confirm what theory predicts about neutrinos. And particle physicists have no idea why.
The common drug is called gabapentin, which is currently used to control seizures and manage nerve pain.
Scientists found a way to revert pain in mice using gene therapy. Perhaps the same technique could be applied to humans.
Understanding these links could bring us closer to a cure.
MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.
Your brain is remarkably good at mapping out physical spaces — even if it's an imaginary space like Hogwarts. But how does the brain do it?
The human brain makes a striking deviation from the normal building plan.
