Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the study of the nervous system. It is a branch of science that combines biology, psychology, and medicine to understand how the brain and nervous system work. Neuroscientists use a wide range of techniques to study the structure and function of the nervous system, from studying single neurons to understanding how the brain processes information. Many advances in neuroscience have been made in recent years, from understanding the underlying causes of neurological disorders to developing new treatments for them. Here, you can find news and articles about the latest advances in neuroscience, as well as videos that explain neuroscience concepts in an easy-to-understand way.
The Scientific Reports team is pleased to announce the most read* articles from 2023 in neuroscience. Featuring authors from around the world, these papers highlight valuable research from an international community.
New research supported by the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute's Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholars program zeroes in on the surprising observation that many genes found in brain cells and synapses—the points of communication between neurons—are among the largest in the animal kingdom.
Scientist Dr. Aparna Bhaduri, assistant professor of medicine and biological chemistry, and neurosurgeon Dr. Kunal Patel, assistant professor of neurosurgery, both part of the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, have received the 2024 Neurobiology of Brain Disorders Award from the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience, which supports innovative research by U.S. scientists who are studying neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, along with a team from the Transylvanian Institute of Neuroscience (Romania), and in collaboration with experts from the Universitat Politècnica de València, have developed an innovative approach to studying brain connections using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
