Neuroscientists are closing in on a striking idea: some brain cells appear to be tuned specifically to music, firing in patterns that let us anticipate the next note before it arrives. Instead of ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

In two separate studies, researchers learned more about the way that our brains respond to music. One study found that brain neurons synchronize with musical rhythms, while the other showed how ...
