Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

There must be something about the human brain that’s different from the brains of other animals — something that enables humans to plan, imagine the future, solve crossword puzzles, tell sarcastic ...

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the centre of the human brain. This aids our understanding ...
