A highly accurate model of how neurons behave when performing complex movements could aid in the design of robotic limbs which behave more realistically.

Research will make the study of diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s easier, and could lead to personalised therapies for a variety of neurodegenerative disorders.

Mutations might play a key role in the death of brain cells.

Scientists have discovered a new way to generate human motor nerve cells in a development that will help research into motor neurone disease.

Why do people gamble if they know that the house always wins? Researchers at the University of Cambridge argue that near-misses, where the gambler narrowly misses out on the jackpot, may provide part of the answer.

The way a common virus hijacks the cell it infects could hold the clue to combating Parkinson's disease.

Cambridge neurologists have shown that an antibody used to treat leukaemia also limits and repairs the damage in multiple sclerosis.

New research in Cambridge is deciphering neural control signals that create the right brain state for the right situation.

Although our brains deteriorate as we get older, Cambridge researchers are finding that some abilities are preserved through ‘flexible’ use of neural networks.
