New research on microplastics in brains reminds us that while scientists compile safety data, our leaders should still act ...

Harvard researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a ...

A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that different brain regions activated by creative tasks are part of one common brain circuit.

The UBC team's research, published this week in the journal Nature Communications, dubbed the highly-specialized neurons ...

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.
