This is the second in a series of articles explaining - using plain English - what exactly are the electrical impulses in your brain responsible for how it learns, represents, and processes ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Scientists show that specifying the timing pattern of neurostimulation -- impulses used to activate the brain's own electrical signaling mechanisms -- can rebalance the strength of synaptic ...

Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...

In the early hours of Independence Day, 2018, I found myself awake. I put it down to jet lag: I’d just returned from South Africa, where my wife—like me, a physician—and I were working with a medical ...
