New findings may solve a mystery about how brains manage to process information so accurately, even though neurons act with a degree of randomness.

The link between nerves and cancer may be a promising target for new therapies, researchers report.

A new technique called genetically targeted chemical assembly reprograms cells to build artificial structures to carry out functions inside the body.

A new discovery about brain formation could one day one day allow bioengineers to coax stem cells to grow into replacement body parts.

New research on a solid-state material is a step toward developing circuitry that functions like the human brain, neuromorphic computing.

A decade-long search for the "sensor" responsible for our ability to feel mechanical pain is finally over. The discovery could lead to new drugs.

A new tiny, wireless device can record the activity of a single neuron in the brain. It could help in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases.

Rheobase neurons focus on keeping you headed in the right direction over long periods of time, new research in mice shows.

Researchers have used lasers to "see" mice neurons while they were learning, which adds to evidence that learning takes the whole brain.

Neurons in the frontal lobe contain stable short-term memory information even as the brain cells change their "code" for locking in memories.
