Researchers have identified two neural circuits in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) that are critical for spatial navigation ...

While camouflaged on the ocean floor off the coast of Israel in the Red Sea, octopods use their arms to grab unsuspecting prey Is Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin the Future of Space Exploration? (01:11 ...

The anatomy of the brain involves key regions including the brain stem, cerebellum, lobes of the cerebral cortex, and specific glands (the pituitary, for example) needed to maintain life and health.

A brain tumor can be diagnosed using imaging tests that view the structure of the brain, along with a biopsy, which can carefully assess a sample of a suspected brain tumor under a microscope.

The study tackles a long-standing query in marine biology: how could octopus limbs control such intricate actions without continual brain input? Octopus arm mechanics mapped in 3D. (Representative ...

Sky News has learnt that Octopus Energy will announce on Thursday it has paid more than £3bn to the government, including more than £40m which has accrued under a profit-share agreement struck ...

These arms can even initiate a response without consulting the brain. How octopus arms can do all this at a cellular level has largely remained a neuroscience mystery—one that's proven difficult ...

A crucial molecule for brain health acts as a garbage collector of other fat molecules (lipids), despite also being a lipid itself. So for more than half a century, researchers have puzzled over how ...

Back in 2008, a miniature mystery unfolded at Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany. Staff turned up for work in the morning to find the aquarium was eerily silent and dark. It transpired that the ...

Zero’s latest surprise may be in just how well the brain learns to handle that abstraction. Now studies show that the concept of zero is processed in similar ways to many numbers and can be ...

A remote clinical trial involving more than 150 people has shown that an experimental treatment for depression — which uses a swimming-cap-like device to gently stimulate the brain — can be ...

“It took an eternity until mathematicians finally invented zero as a number.” Perhaps that’s no surprise given that the concept can be difficult for the brain to grasp. It takes children longer to ...
