The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Yawning and deep breathing each have different effects on the movement of fluids in the brain, and each of us may have a ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cluster of brain cells that may help explain differences in social behavior ...

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the formation of complex glycans essential for normal brain function. These ...

Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” After the age of 40, the average brain decreases 5 ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

Avian species have become important model organisms in behavioral neuroscience due to their capacity for complex cognitive functions supported by ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

The field of brain connectomics has rapidly evolved, transforming our understanding of neural structures and the intricate patterns that underlie brain ...
