Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture.

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

A new advanced imaging study led by scientists from the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London (ICL), has looked at what happens in people's brains when they take the potent ...

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a new algorithm, the Krakencoder, that merges multiple types of brain imaging data to better understand how the brain s wiring underpins behavior, ...

Researchers say artificial intelligence has helped them create one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain to date.

A specialized model used by researchers is becoming a valuable tool for studying human brain development, diseases and potential treatments, according to a team of scientists at Rutgers University-New ...

In the middle of the night, the world can sometimes feel like a dark place. Under the cover of darkness, negative thoughts ...

Recent insights into brain functioning challenge the long-standing belief that brain wiring is the primary determinant of intelligence and behavior. It appears that it’s not just about how the brain ...

But researchers were concerned about whether this procedure might have other, less desirable effects. What happens when the right and left sides of the cerebral cortex—responsible for an enormous ...

Editor’s note: Every year, hundreds of undergraduates at the University of Delaware pursue research under the guidance of a faculty mentor, especially during the summer months. Such experiences ...
