The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

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 ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...
