An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during ...

People whose brains age faster than they do are more likely to develop dementia later in life, according to a new study by UCSF researchers.

New research shows a child’s home environment is closely linked to how their brain matures. A recent study associates parental acceptance with faster brain development, while exposure to household ...

A newly discovered mechanism that protects nerve cells could have important implications for understanding and treating mental illness.

A team of researchers has created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains, providing a more dynamic understanding of how the mammalian brain develops. This atlas provides a common reference and ...

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...

Early-life adversity affects more than half of the world's children and is a significant risk factor for cognitive and mental health problems later in life. In an extensive and up-to-the-minute review ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

HERSHEY, Pa. — A 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques has been created by a team of researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and collaborators from ...
