May 1, 2025 Mohamady El-Gaby, _University of Oxford_ How do animals and humans come up with novel ideas? It may be down to some very specific cells. April 17, 2025 William Wright,

_University of California, San Diego_ and Takaki Komiyama, _University of California, San Diego_ As you experience or encounter new things, your brain must encode this information via the

right neural networks at the right time. January 27, 2025 Yenisel Cruz-Almeida, _University of Florida_ Pain is unpleasant, but it does have a purpose. December 5, 2024 Aswathy

Ammothumkandy, _University of Southern California_; Charles Liu, _University of Southern California_, and Michael A. Bonaguidi, _University of Southern California_ Understanding how new

neurons affect brain function throughout adulthood can offer new approaches to treating epilepsy and dementia. November 26, 2024 Rahul Sidhu, _University of Sheffield_ Tau behaves abnormally

in the brain in people with Alzheimer’s disease. This latest study points to a reason why. November 6, 2024 Brandon Robert Munn, _University of Sydney_ Are neurons star players, or do they

prioritise teamwork? A new study has uncovered an answer for this long-standing debate about the brain. August 6, 2024 Ione Fine, _University of Washington_ and Geoffrey Boynton, _University

of Washington_ Engineers have tried for decades to develop bionic eyes to reverse blindness. But the brain is far more complex than a computer. July 4, 2024 Albert HiuKa Fok, _McGill

University_ New research has revealed the role that kinesin, a nanoscopic motor protein, holds in the brain. It helps build dendritic spines, the physical structures that grow from neurons.

July 3, 2024 Erika Nyhus, _Bowdoin College_ Deciphering how neurons talk to each other by reading the brain’s electrical activity has given scientists insights into memory and conditions

like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s. June 13, 2024 Lata Vadlamudi, _The University of Queensland_ Fluctuating hormones affect the frequency of seizures at multiple times in women’s lives. So we

need to tailor their therapies accordingly. May 17, 2024 Adam D Hines, _Queensland University of Technology_ How exactly do anaesthetic drugs shut down the brain? We still don’t have a

complete picture, but a new study just got us a step closer. May 13, 2024 Mari Carmen Pelaez, _Université Laval_; Antoine Desmeules, _Université Laval_, and Chantelle F. Sephton, _Université

Robinson, _Auburn University_ Eating right, exercising, playing sports, reading and journaling are just a few of the ways you can keep your brain in top shape. April 15, 2024 Kristin

Scaplen, _Bryant University_ 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. February 29, 2024 Kate Poole, _UNSW Sydney_ and Mirella Dottori, _University of Wollongong_ Our bodies have a dedicated channel for sensing only the very

lightest of touches. February 14, 2024 Tianyu Wang, _Georgia Institute of Technology_ and Christopher Pierce, _Georgia Institute of Technology_ 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. December 21, 2023 Naguib Mechawar, _McGill

University_ Montréal is home to one of the world’s largest brain banks, the Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank, where discoveries about different neurological and psychiatric diseases are made.

December 18, 2023 Domenico Vicinanza, _Anglia Ruskin University_ Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain. October 13, 2023 Marlys Fassett,

_University of California, San Francisco_ Itch-sensing neurons in your skin are intertwined with your immune cells. Counterintuitively, the molecule that connects them triggers responses

that both worsen and improve skin conditions. October 2, 2023 Edmund S. Higgins, _Medical University of South Carolina_ Change in the brain usually comes with plenty of effort over time.

Neuroscientists are working to understand how psychedelic drugs provide a shortcut that seems to rely on existing brain systems.
