Researchers have studied the collective swimming of ayu fish to quantify their degree of group cohesion using information theory, which may help researchers better understand the origin of emergent dynamics.

Researchers have identified how specific brain cells interacting during development could be related to neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, including some that occur later in life.

KAIST researchers have used an X-ray method to track how proteins fold, which could improve computer simulations of this process, with implications for understanding diseases and improving drug discovery.

A trial of an experimental drug for a rare, inherited form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has shown promise in an early-stage trial.

After a traumatic brain injury, why do some people quickly regain their skills while others face long-lasting setbacks? Researchers have been trying to answer this question by understanding which parts of the brain are used to process sensory information and remember different skills.

Researchers have discovered a novel testicular luminal protein, NELL2, that triggers in the epididymis a chain of events that matures the sperm and enables each one to be motile in females.

To stay current about the Covid-19 pandemic, people need to process health information when they read the news. Inevitably, that means people will be exposed to health misinformation, too, in the form of false content, often found online, about the illness. Now a new study contains insights that may help reduce the problem.

A rat is less likely to help a trapped companion if it is with other rats that aren't helping, according to new research from the University of Chicago that showed the social psychological theory of the "bystander effect" in humans is present in these long-tailed rodents.

Scientists have demonstrated that a Salmonella biofilm protein can cause autoimmune responses and arthritis in animals and postulate a link with neurodegenerative disease onset.

Hearing is widely thought to be the last sense to go in the dying process. Now UBC researchers have evidence that some people may still be able to hear while in an unresponsive state at the end of their life.
