Neuroscientists from MIT have identified the region of the brain that holds objects in memory until they are spotted. Imagine you are looking for your…
Scientists from UCLA have identified a molecule (GDF10) that signals brain tissue to form new connections after a stroke. The finding could eventually lead to…
A new study from Yale University reveals that patients with the rare ALK mutation are living an average of four years, compared to typical patients…
A newly published study from Yale University reveals that a person’s brain activity appears to be as unique as his or her fingerprints. These brain…
New medical trials reveal that the intravenous drug Cirara significantly reduces brain swelling following a stroke. An existing drug administered intravenously reduces the chances of…
In a newly published study, neuroscientists from MIT and Columbia University reveal how neurons in one part of the brain measure time intervals and accurately…
By combining MRI and other data, engineers from MIT are developing a computer system that uses genetic, demographic, and clinical data to help predict the…
In a newly published study, neuroscientists from MIT reveal evidence that the brain’s inferotemporal cortex can identify objects. When the eyes are open, visual information…
A newly published study from UCLA neuroscientists reveals how a diet high in processed fructose hampers the brain’s ability to heal itself following traumatic injury….
Using a new tool called SegEM, scientists from the Max Planck Institute are able to speed up the reconstruction of connections between nerve cells more…
Neuroscientists from MIT have now identified a brain circuit that processes the “when” and “where” components of memory, revealing that this information is split even…
New research sheds light on a fundamental mechanism underlying the development of Alzheimer’s disease and could lead to new forms of therapy people with the…
In a newly published study, a team of researchers show that blocking amygdala cells’ interactions with serotonin after trauma may prevent post-traumatic stress disorder. About…
Scientists at Yale School of Medicine have developed a new 3D-imaging technique to better understand and to help treat kidney disease. One in four patients…
A newly published study from MIT shows that habit formation in primates is driven by neurons that represent the cost of a habit, as well…
Researchers reveal that mutations of the DCHS1 gene cause a common form of mitral valve prolapse. An international research collaboration led by Harvard Medical School…
New research from Yale University reveals that even before the onset of schizophrenia, irregularities in key brain areas are already present in individuals at higher…
