Making sure RNA molecules are in the right place at the right time in a cell is critical to development and normal function. Researchers are figuring out exactly how they get to where they need to go.

By learning what parts of the brain are crucial for imagination to work, neuroscientists can look back over hundreds of millions of years of evolution to figure out when it first emerged.

Researchers have taken a step toward understanding how human thoughts and dreams emerge from electrical pulses in the brain's trillions of synapses.

Neurons adapt to help fruit flies stay awake in dangerous situations, a finding that could lead to new ways to treat insomnia in people.

We tend to eat, drink, and move less when we feel sick. A new study in mice uncovers brain cells that control these "sickness behaviors."

A simple animal model shows how stimuli and states such as smells, stressors, and satiety converge in an olfactory neuron to guide food-seeking behavior.

Research reveals cells that span brain hemispheres to coordinate activity in visual processing centers, shows Alzheimer’s degrades their structure and function.

A tiny EEG cap, created to measure activity in a brain model the size of a pen dot, could lead to better understanding of neural disorders.
