Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome, of our neural ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...
