Trying to document how single brain cells participate in networks that govern behavior is a daunting task. Brain probes called Neuropixels, which feature high-density silicon arrays, have enabled ...

Study finds link between cell phone radiation and behavior problems in mice. March 15, 2012— -- A new study could re-ignite the debate over the potentially dangerous effects of cell phone ...

A key challenge in the effort to link brain activity with behavior is that brain activity, measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), for instance, is extraordinarily complex. That ...

One of the most remarkable things about the human brain is that it changes. A lot. This ability to reinvent itself, to morph, to strengthen some connections and let others fall away, captivates Andrea ...

A new study may help explain why some people are more susceptible to developing drinking problems. Rutgers Health researchers have discovered that brain immune cells from people with a high genetic ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level of physical activity. Astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus region of the ...

In an unprecedented new study in the journal Cell Reports, researchers have shown neurotransmitters in the human brain are active during the processing of the emotional content of language, providing ...
