Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing controversy in neuroscience.

Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

A compound best known for giving almonds and apricots their aroma may be the key to defeating hard-to-kill cancer cells. Japanese researchers found that benzaldehyde can stop the shape-shifting ...

Water and air pose completely different challenges to animals on a number of levels.

During therapy, some cancer cells evolve to escape elimination. Newer anticancer drugs that can overcome this resistance are necessary. Now, researchers from Japan demonstrate that aromatic ...

A Bermudian played a key role in groundbreaking research that led to the understanding of how a devastating cancer can spread ...

A new AI tool, AAnet, has discovered five distinct cell types within tumors, offering a deeper look into cancer's inner diversity. This insight could transform how we treat cancer, enabling more ...

The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and ...

A multinational team of researchers, co-led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, has developed and tested a new AI ...

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men worldwide. However, the mechanisms controlling the early stages of prostate cancer ...

Intrinsic Neural Stem Cells Regeneration therapy allowing for the repair of disrupted neuronal networks with newly supplied neurons is also a possible strategy for treating poststroke patients. To ...
