New research shows how CCN1, a protein secreted by astrocytes, is critical for stabilizing neural circuits in adulthood.

Salk scientists discovered the protein CCN1—secreted by non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes—stabilizes brain circuits in adulthood. The CCN1 pathway may be a powerful target for therapeutics ...

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

When your mind goes blank, visual stimuli never reaches awareness. Study mapped the unique brain patterns behind these mental ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

If you can’t stop thinking about food, it’s not a failure of willpower. Food noise is driven by biology—and it can be turned down.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales Sydney are testing a new way to treat chronic nerve pain by training the ...

Explore the rising prevalence of extreme phobias, their impact on lives, and the importance of early intervention and ...

New brain research reveals how guilt and shame shape moral behavior, showing why guilt promotes repair while shame often leads to withdrawal.
