Researchers find the decision to eat may come down to these three neurons

Knocking out one key gene leads to autistic traits

Surprising mechanism for removing dead cells identified: « The system is seemingly spatially tuned to the presence of corpses, and it only functions when each receptor picks up the signal is attuned to

New technique sheds light on memory and learning: « Hacisuleyman’s work defines a whole new biochemical pathway which fits with, complements, and vastly expands what we already knew about memory and learning

Scientists have, for the first time, identified in mice a common reward pathway in the brain that may serve as a hub for disrupting the balance between the need for drugs and natural urges to eat and drink

New study of fly neurons provides an initial glimpse into how thought is converted into an action

An "exhausted" population of microglia that accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer's has been discovered, with implications for pathology and treatment

New highly sensitive blood test could offer earlier detection of common deadly cancers

Researchers discover neuronal mechanism linked to a minutes-long decision process in fruit flies, this could help understanding how humans make educated and strategic decisions

Scientists have identified the anterior thalamus as a brain region that is key to the memory consolidation process, linking the hippocampus and cortex

Why older fathers pass on more genetic mutations to their offspring

Newly discovered “social fluid” unites ants across developmental stages into one, colony-wide superorganism

Since insects eyes are fixed firmly to their heads, a new study shows that fruit flies have evolved a different strategy to adjust their vision without moving their heads—they move the retinas inside of their eyes

New mathematical model suggests COVID spikes have infinite variance—meaning that, in a rare extreme event, there is no upper limit to how many cases or deaths one locality might see.

A synthetic antibiotic may help turn the tide against drug-resistant pathogens

The human genome is, at long last, complete

A novel compound might defeat multidrug-resistant bacteria common in hospitals

There's now a single molecular explanation for 20% of critical COVID-19 cases, according to a batch of new studies in Science Immunology: insufficient or defective type I interferons.

Neuroscientists just discovered the closest thing to a "grandmother neuron"

Alzheimer's disease always begins with the destruction of the same neurons in the entorhinal cortex

Research on soldier ants reveals evolution is not always a one-way street toward increasing specialization

Lymphatic system found to play key role in hair regeneration, reports new study in the journal Science

Mitchell Feigenbaum, physicist who pioneered chaos theory, has died

The gut’s immune system functions differently in distinct parts of the intestine, with less aggressive defenses in the first segments where nutrients are absorbed…

Searching in soil, scientists find a new way to combat tuberculosis -- study suggests that an antibiotic found in dirt can destroy mutant mycobacteria that otherwise would be antibiotic resistant.

In clinical trials, a new antibody therapy suppressed HIV for months after participants stopped taking antiretroviral drugs

For decades, scientists maintained one brain area, the subplate, vanishes during human development

A new DNA study found that nine out of 10 species on Earth today, including humans, came into being 100,000 to 200,000 years ago

An automated technology that combines imaging with digital analysis and machine learning to help physicians detect melanoma at its early stages with 98% sensitivity has been developed by researchers at Rockefeller University.
