It’s the comparative silence between the firing spikes of neurons that tells what they are really up to, scientists report.
Silence is golden when it comes to how our brains work

Human and artificial intelligence join forces to study complexity of the brain: World first gene expression map of all the cells in the brain of an aging
A team of scientists lead by prof. Stein Aerts (VIB-KU Leuven) is the first to map the gene expression of
Scientists discover schizophrenia gene roles in brain development: The research team tracked snippets of DNA across stem cells to identify 150 suspect proteins
A USC research team identified 150 proteins affecting cell activity and brain development that contribute to mental disorders, including schizophrenia,
A better way to trace neuronal pathways: Moving forward by moving backward more effectively
New technologies have been likened, famously, to magic. At first, even the few who understand how they work have a
Mystery deepens over the cause of Alzheimer’s: Biologist studies ‘traffic jams’ in brain cells with the hope of unraveling the origins of disease
For more than 20 years, much of the leading research on Alzheimer’s disease has been guided by the “amyloid hypothesis.”
Neurons ripple while brains rest to lock in memories: How quiet minds encode spatial maps while ‘introspecting’
Memories resonate in the mind even when it’s not aware of processing them. New research from Rice University and Michigan
Chemical compound produces beneficial inflammation, remyelination that could help treat multiple sclerosis: Study shows that ‘good inflammation’ promotes axon myelination
Drugs available to treat multiple sclerosis, a leading cause of neurological disability affecting roughly 2.3 million people worldwide, alter the
Tiny particles could help fight brain cancer: Nanoparticles carrying two drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier and shrink glioblastoma tumors
Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor, is one of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. Only a handful of drugs are
Selective neural connections can be reestablished in retina after injury: Circuit repair in the retina of adult ground squirrels can recreate the selective neural connections needed for color vision
The brain’s ability to form new neural connections, called neuroplasticity, is crucial to recovery from some types of brain injury,
Leg exercise is critical to brain and nervous system health: In a new take on the exercise truism ‘use it, or lose it,’ researchers show neurological health is an interactive relationship with our muscles and our world
Groundbreaking research shows that neurological health depends as much on signals sent by the body’s large, leg muscles to the
