The brain may reuse some cells to store many different memories without mixing them up with or erasing older memories, a new study in mice suggests.

The image shows how different elements of the genome are used during the birth of neurons in the mouse (left), monkey (center) and human (right) brain. Each tiny dot is a single cell in the developing ...

Clock genes are a set of genes known to contribute to the regulation of the human body's internal 24-hour cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. One of these genes is the so-called CLOCK gene, a ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

The brain may reuse some cells to store many different memories without mixing them up with or erasing older memories, a new study in mice suggests. Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the study re ...

A review of over 100 years of neuroscience research asks if some brain regions are more important than others for consciousness. What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain ...
