…brain damage in mice who were infected with SARS-CoV-2. Indeed, it did just that. “They had less blood-brain barrier leakage and less immune cell infiltration of the brain, which led…
…the journal Nature Methods. Why Traditional Brain Mapping Is So Challenging Building a map of the brain has historically been slow and difficult. Researchers typically had to slice brain tissue…
…analyzed data from 1,500 species, shows a non-linear relationship and highlights rapid evolutionary changes in brain size among primates, rodents, and carnivores. Challenging Traditional Beliefs in Brain Evolution Researchers at…
…brain scans aren’t available. New research suggests a common brain network exists between heart rate deceleration and depression. By evaluating data from 14 people with no depression symptoms, the team…

…research has revitalized interest in the longstanding link between brain trauma and dementia by focusing on the vascular changes in the brain. Through a study examining brain tissue from traumatic…
…materials and systems capable of performing brain-like functions are created and their mechanisms are investigated—may be effective in identifying new applications of brain-like information processing and advancing brain science. (a)…
…have developed transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), a non-invasive technique that targets specific brain areas. They envision this technology becoming a home-use device, offering a promising future where brain therapy is…
…cancer’s ability to spread to the brain and evade the brain’s immune defenses. Triple-negative breast cancer is more likely than many other breast cancers to spread to the brain, where…
For over a century, scientists have studied the brain’s rhythmic waves of synchronized neural activity. Now, Yale researchers have uncovered where gamma waves—patterns disrupted in conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar…
