Brain scans of thousands of people revealed that the human brain has five distinct eras, with turning points in the way it is ...

We have long believed that brain growth halts and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British university researchers analyzing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data has ...

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

Human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a preprint posted online in May. A preprint is a ...

Brain-computer interface company Precision Neuroscience says that it has set a new world record for the number of neuron-tapping electrodes placed on a living human’s brain—4,096, surpassing the ...

A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney. A colorized computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain revealing blood ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall, cadaver ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...
