An international team of researchers, with the involvement of the UAB, has conducted a study that explains the evolutionary ...

New research provides evidence that the brain’s ability to process signals and adapt to new information fluctuates rhythmically over a 24-hour cycle. A study published inNeuroscience Research reveals ...

A new study from Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites - not a shared site - to achieve different types of ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

A new study found that cannabis affects brain development by interacting with CB1 receptors on astrocytes. The findings indicate that disrupting CB1 receptor activity during development, such as via ...

A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...

A longevity-linked metabolite restored key memory processes in Alzheimer’s models, highlighting aging biology as a promising therapeutic target. Singapore ranks among the countries with the longest ...

It’s no secret exercise is good for your body—but what about your brain? Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Neurobiology and vice chair for Faculty Affairs and Development ...

The 25 number became popular off the back of brain imaging studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These studies often tracked changes through childhood and adolescence and showed that the brain ...
