Wireless technology that remotely activates brain circuits in flies in less than a second could one day activate circuits in humans without needing surgery.

A new explanation for some forms of epilepsy with unknown causes could also have implications for other neuromuscular diseases such as ALS.

A new genetic discovery adds weight to a theory that motor neurone degenerative diseases are caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain

W.A. Harris talks about his new book, “Zero to Birth: How the Human Brain Is Built,” which illustrates how one cell develops into the complex operational centers that not only make us human, but also individuals.

Research with monkeys shows that when eyes meet, neurons fire in multiple parts of the brain. It gets at how we figure out the meaning of a "social gaze."

With a comprehensive map of the wiring, researchers can now discern what information flows into the circuit to enable a key brain function.

The discovery of a new way that astrocytes and neurons communicate could lead to treatments for epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, and traumatic brain injury.

New evidence indicates that a decades-old idea about brain injury due to stroke may have been discarded too hastily.

Growing rodent retinal neurons on a fractal-patterned electrode is a step toward a bionic eye, say researchers.

A study of brain cell types in the visual system of fruit flies uncovers similarities with human brain development and could hold clues to regenerative medicine.
