Sure, playing video game is fun. But the ability of tiny brain organoids to pick up a skill could provide insight into how healthy brains work.

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have created the first detailed map showing how genetic activity is controlled in ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Cells change shape to move efficiently in a range of spatial environments. This response can be informed by the cell’s memory of past deformation. Read the paper: The actin cortex acts as a mechanical ...

Our lives revolve around patterns. From the time we wake up to the moment we stop at a red light to when we sit down for dinner, the cadence of our day-to-day actions guides how we interact with the ...
