A new electronic device lets scientists explore the way neurons share or compete for resources without the need for complicated circuits.

In animal models, transplanting brain cells made from skin cells helped stop seizures and boosted brain function.

Knowing more about how peripheral nerves shut off certain genes to regrow after injury could lead to new therapies for people with spinal cord injuries.

Current models of how the brain performs movements like reaching out to pick up a coffee cup come from the 1980s. Now, those ideas may need a rewrite.
