A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Scientists say their new insights into how a key brain protein works could help resolve a long-standing question in molecular ...

Background Fermented foods are a promising yet underexplored intervention for influencing brain function and mental health through the gut–brain axis. Objective The objective of this study was to ...

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 ...

The work that we’re doing brings AI closer to human thinking,” said Mick Bonner, who teaches cognitive science at Hopkins.

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 race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a schematic and more like living tissue. Instead of treating neurons as ...

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 ...
