According to the researchers: Childhood brain topology reaches a turning point at age 9, transitioning to the adolescent ...

For years, scientists believed humans lacked the ability to sense magnetic fields. But new experiments show the brain actually responds when magnetic fields change around us, even when we’re unaware ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Did you brush your teeth? A new study links gum disease to signs of brain damage in older adults. These signs, called white matter hyperintensities, are thought to show damage to the brain’s white ...

A new AI-assisted brain atlas that can help visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail has been developed by UCL researchers, in a major step forward for neuroscience and neuroimaging. The ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have uncovered unexpected traces of bacteria within brain tumors. This discovery offers new insights into the environment in which ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

We know that a bad night’s sleep can leave us groggy, grumpy and unable to focus, which can affect our judgment and productivity. It turns out that restlessness fueled by a few poor habits can also ...

A “miracle” Nebraska woman born without a brain defied the odds as her family marked her 20th birthday — decades after parents were told she’d never make it to 5, reports said. Alex Simpson turned 20 ...

WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages ...

An international team of researchers, including scientists from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, has uncovered a surprisingly complex nervous system in sea urchins. The animals appear to possess an ...
