Scientists used a tool called SynTrogo to edit brain circuits in mice, showing that trimming select synapses can make ...

Every thought, memory, and feeling we experience depends on trillions of tiny connection points in the brain called synapses.

A team led by the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel ...

Using a sophisticated brain-imaging system, neuroscientists say they have successfully reactivated a specific memory circuit in mice, causing them to seek out shelter when no shelter is actually ...

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...

Memory failures often feel like personal lapses, but new research suggests the problem may be rooted in hidden architecture inside the brain’s core learning hub. Scientists have uncovered previously ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...
