Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Science can change over time. What once was thought as fact can, after further research, be deemed as false. Here are several school facts Baby Boomers were taught that are now proven false.

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

In the North Penn School District, where students are continually pushed to navigate demanding academic schedules and the relentless pull of digital devices, educators and parents are actively seeking ...

The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...

When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

What is the neuropsychological basis for the brain's ever-changing contextualized goals? I explore this question from the perspective of the Affect Management Framework (AMF).

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...
