How the brain largely maintains its function when neurons are lost – this is what researchers at the University Medical Center Mainz, the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) and Hebrew ...

In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final destinations—this process is crucial for proper brain formation and function. Similar to ...

Neurons in the bird eye’s inner retina lack a blood supply. Finding how these neurons function without oxygen reveals a role for an enigmatic eye structure. Read the paper: Oxygen-free metabolism in ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Using microfluidic devices mimicking the crowded spaces in the developing brain, researchers gained novel insights into distinct modes of locomotion found in neurons. In the developing brain, neurons ...

New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in Nature has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning.
