Pound for pound, the brain consumes vastly more energy than other organs, and, puzzlingly, it remains a fuel-guzzler even when its neurons are not firing…
In the first MRI-based study to investigate prenatal alcohol exposure, researchers found significant changes in the brain structure of fetuses exposed to alcohol compared to…
Stuttering starts at speech initiation, not due to impaired motor skills. Theory suggests anomalies in the brain’s initiation circuit cause stuttering. About one in 20…
A three-year study of more than 1,000 patients found that the risk of delayed intracranial hemorrhage and death following head trauma was significantly higher for…
COVID-19 of mild to moderate severity in pregnant women appears to have no effect on the brain of the developing fetus, according to a study…
The largest multi-institutional international study to date on brain complications of COVID-19 has found that approximately one in 100 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 will likely…
Good news for those of us who can’t face the day without their morning flat white: a long-term study has revealed drinking higher amounts of…
The human brain has 100 billion neurons, making 100 trillion connections. Understanding the precise circuits of brain cells that orchestrate all of our day-to-day behaviors—such…
Certain markers of injury to the brain’s white matter, called white matter hyperintensities, can be seen on brain scans. A new study finds that brain…
A first look at grandmaternal brain function. Many people lucky enough to have grown up with doting grandmothers know that they can burnish a child’s…
Researchers at Yale University analyzing specialized MRI exams found significant changes in the microstructure of the brain’s white matter in adolescents and young adults with…
Reversal of the biological hallmarks responsible for development of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia using unique hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol. A team of investigators from Tel…
Physical activity has greatest benefits for people with worse disease pathology. No one will disagree that an active lifestyle is good for you, but it…
A first-of-its-kind study led by researchers at Georgia State reveals surprising new information about the relationship between neuron activity and blood flow deep in the…
Study suggests this area of the visual cortex emerges much earlier in development than previously thought. Within the visual cortex of the adult brain, a…
Brain mechanism identified that tracks angular head motion during navigation. To navigate successfully in an environment, you need to continuously track the speed and direction…
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) and collaborators in Japan have discovered particular neurons in the brain that monitor whether predictions made…
