Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience have found new clues to how the olfactory sensory system aids in threat assessment and have found neurons that “learn” if a smell is a threat. ...

U.S. and Zambian researchers and clinicians have building a decades-long partnership to address he neurological burden of diseases like cerebral malaria, HIV, and stroke in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The previously unknown component of brain anatomy, described in the journal Science, acts as both a protective barrier and platform from which immune cells scan the brain for infection and ...

A team of U.S. and German researchers engineered mitochondria that can covert light energy to chemical energy, power cellular functions, and extend life in the roundworm C. elegans. The findings ...

Understanding how experience and exposure to trauma changes the brain could improve diagnosis and targeted care for conditions like anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Benjamin ...
