Sensory overload is often about uncertainty and how long the brain has to stay engaged—especially in autism and ADHD.

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

Teachers can set up hands-on exploration to promote young students’ ability to calm themselves when emotions are running high ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

Yu Shin Kim, M.S., Ph.D., has been appointed professor in the Department of Endodontics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry. Kim is internationally recognized for ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

It has long been assumed that glycogen in the brain is primarily a glial energy reserve, with limited direct relevance to neurons. Yet, recent studies have demonstrated a role for glycogen in neuronal ...
