Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

Scientists have identified specific neurons in the brain's amygdala that trigger anxiety. Research shows that by rebalancing ...

Anxiety disorders are the world's most common type of mental health condition, impacting the lives of around 360 million ...

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, ...

Anxiety can feel like a storm that starts deep inside the skull. For years, neuroscientists have known that the amygdala — an ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...
