Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

In A Nutshell An existing osteoporosis medication (PTH) reduced chronic back pain in three mouse models of spinal ...

Arteries become clogged. Blood flow is restricted and oxygen is cut off. The result is a heart attack, the world's leading ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during ...
