The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...

I T IS HARD to overstate the importance of sleep. Regular hours of rest offer organisms of all sizes a chance to consolidate ...

A further understanding of the organelle could pave the way for better treatment of genetic and neurodegenerative diseases.

Can alcohol be good for you? Much evidence would argue yes. Compare “moderate” drinkers who have perhaps one glass of wine a ...

At Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a new branch of brain science is blooming at the molecular scale—with nanoflowers.

Every decision begins invisibly. Long before someone acts, the brain is already hard at work gathering evidence, weighing options, and gradually committing to a choice. But even when faced with ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...
