Differences in the physical shape and wiring of the brain can directly contribute to the development of attention and social ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

A new AI-assisted brain atlas that can help visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail has been developed by UCL researchers, in a major step forward for neuroscience and neuroimaging. The ...

Somewhere in the tangle of a brain under siege by Parkinson’s disease, immune cells appear to be doing something remarkable: ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

If you look at a Neanderthal skull and a Homo sapiens skull, they’re visibly different: Neanderthal skulls are lower and longer, whereas ours tend to be rounder. However, those differences probably ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers created “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. The treated animals showed better memory and healthier ...

Researchers reveal that TMS repairs depression by regrowing dendritic spines on specific IT neurons in the prefrontal cortex.
