During sleep, some neurons not only replay the recent past but also anticipate future experience, research in rats shows.

Eating right, exercising, playing sports, reading and journaling are just a few of the ways you can keep your brain in top shape.

A new framework describes how thought arises from the coordination of neural activity driven by oscillating electric fields — a.k.a. brain “waves” or “rhythms.”

Studying the human brain is difficult because of its vast and intricate network of neural connections. The fruit fly offers a simpler but similar model that researchers can more easily map.

Study finds stimulating a key brain rhythm with light and sound increases peptide release from interneurons, driving clearance of an Alzheimer’s protein.

Robots often have a hard time navigating through debris, but robots designed based on worms and snakes could move around obstacles faster, thanks to an idea called mechanical intelligence.

Researchers have discovered a network of neurons in mice that help them make left or right turns.

"By studying the fly brain, we have provided an initial glimpse into how a simple 'thought' is converted into an action."

Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain.

New research finds that neurons work as a team to process facial expressions, vocalizations, and social cues.
