Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

Brain scans show a spot in the cerebellum attuned specifically to words, expanding on studies that point to the region's ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Koch, who studied vision, thought that by measuring people's brain responses as they looked at special optical illusions, ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical maps divide the brain into regions according to structural variations in the ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...
