…brain waves. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published today (January 12) in Nature Communications, shows how rhythmic brain activity called alpha oscillations helps the brain tell the difference between…
…drops by 16-fold in the elderly brain. Instead, immune cells and microglia, a kind of macrophage, proliferate in the aging brain. But rather than protect the brain, they convert into…

…incisions, “we observed a really striking thing,” Lieber said. With each heartbeat, the brain swelled almost a centimeter up through the opening. “A huge amount.” The brain undulates every time…
Researchers discovered that the brain continues sophisticated language processing and prediction even while unconscious under anesthesia, challenging long-held assumptions about consciousness. Credit: Shutterstock A new study reveals that the brain…
Researchers at Scripps Research have created a novel instrument to monitor brain plasticity. Researchers at Scripps Research examined how the levels of various proteins in brain cells change in response…
