Prolactin-controlling neurons in mice undergo reversible changes in how neurons communicate. Lactation temporarily changes how a mother’s neurons behave, according to new research in mice…
A new device enables researchers to observe hundreds of neurons in the brain in real-time. The system is based on modified silicon chips from cameras,…
Inflammation in the Brain Linked to Several Forms of Dementia Inflammation Inflammation in the brain may be more widely implicated in dementia than was previously…
Brain waves indicate how you will respond to your bias — even before you have a choice to make. The strength of alpha brain waves…
Stanford Scientists Discover the Mathematical Rules Underpinning Brain Growth Using microscopy and mathematics, researchers have discovered the invisible pattern that growing neurons follow to form…
It is the first time scientists have revealed how the brain shuttles genetic code within its cells. Research published today (March 13, 2020) in Science…
Neuroscientists discover how a key brain region combines visual and spatial information to help us find our way. When we move through the streets of…
The idea of food addiction is a very controversial topic among scientists. Researchers from Aarhus University have delved into this topic and examined what happens…
The Imperial College London and UCL researchers say their proof-of-concept study, published today (March 6, 2020) in npj Digital Medicine, paves the way for the…
A specific brain wave type shared by sheep and humans could help researchers study human brain disorders. People may count sheep when they cannot sleep,…
Brain imprints on cranial bones from great apes and humans refute the long-held notion that the human pattern of brain asymmetry is unique. The left…
Regular aerobic workouts may decrease the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) because of family history or genetic predisposition…
Cerebral edema, swelling that occurs in the brain, is a severe and potentially fatal complication of stroke. New research, which was conducted in mice and…
University of Queensland researchers completed the first MRI-based mapping of the squid brain in 50 years to develop an atlas of neural connections. We are…
Organoids (In Vitro Brains) to Study Pediatric Brain Tumors A large-scale production of in vitro tumors could make it possible to perform large drug screenings…
Brain iron levels increase during development; may influence cognitive abilities. Iron levels in brain tissue rise during development and are correlated with cognitive abilities, according…
A new study suggests that significant early childhood exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is associated with structural changes in the brain at the age…
Brain-Cell Helpers Powered by Norepinephrine During Fear-Memory Formation A sustained state of vigilance will generate a different type of memory than a momentary startle, and…
