Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...

The Bioluminescence Hub at Brown, a collaborative team of neuroscientists from around the U.S., found a way to harness light ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever suggested. A wave of new research is revealing hidden layers in the brain’s ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

Researchers studied thousands of brain scans to see how the organ's architecture changes over a lifetime. University of Cambridge Your brain constantly rewires itself as you age. It may even go ...

A large study of brain scans shows that our neural wiring evolves through five major stages from birth to late old age. These phases are separated by sudden turning points that mark big shifts in how ...

Brain development involves five distinct epochs across a human lifespan. Late aging initiates declines in connectivity around age 83 and alters region reliance. Wiring differences potentially link to ...
