A newly discovered biological chain reaction explains how high levels of a common brain chemical can lead to cellular ...

A new study finds a link between early eating and lifelong brain health, suggesting that consuming unhealthy foods during ...

A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off.

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

Scientists discover that sickle cell disease forces the brain to recruit extra "attention backup" to maintain normal cognitive function.

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

For over thirty years, researchers have primarily studied the accumulation of amyloid beta proteins in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. They also focus on how that component negatively impacts ...

Imagine arriving at a busy location with people moving around and a multitude of visual and other sensory cues vying for your ...

As a neurobiologist trained in brain physiology, a fitness enthusiast and a mom, I spend hours at the local pool during the summer. It’s not unusual to see children gleefully splashing and swimming ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

A patient’s expectation of a drug’s effect influences the drug’s efficacy and the pain-related brain pathways that are activated during treatment, according to a study published in Science ...
