Past neuroscience studies have consistently showed the profound effects of early life experiences on the brain's wiring, particularly on the formation of the junctions that enable communication ...

New Endocrine Society research found prenatal exposure to DEHP — found in hospital IV tubing and food packaging — permanently ...

Harvard scientists developed a virtual rat model with an AI brain to study how brains control the movement of real rats. This innovative model accurately simulates neural activity observed in real ...

Harvard researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a ...

A brain-invading worm spread by rats and snails is making inroads into the United States. A study this week seems to show the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a.k.a. the rat lungworm, is now ...
