Researchers use molecular barcoding to discover that Alston’s singing mice evolved complex vocalizations through targeted tripling of neural projections.

A tiny switch in DNA allows neurons to change their function depending on the environment and alter behavior in worms.

Assumptions that may seem self-evident are not always accurate when it comes to the evolution of vertebrate brains. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have now demonstrated this by examining ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

The single-celled Stentor coeruleus learns through CaMKII-driven protein modification, mirroring mechanisms found in the human brain.
