Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

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

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

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 ...

Hibernation causes rapid, reversible structural changes in squirrel neurons, offering new avenues for human stroke recovery.

Endurance exercise such as long-distance running benefits the brain, with studies showing that it can improve cognition and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disease. 2 It also places significant ...

Long working hours might not just be bad for you, they could also be altering the structure of your brain, a new study suggests. The research was conducted by two scientists at South Korea’s Chung-Ang ...

A brain structure that seems to influence food consumption could one day be targeted to enhance interventions for weight loss or gain. Studies have shown that activating neurons in this structure, ...
