Scientists have uncovered a hidden layer of organization in the brain by creating the first detailed 3D map of its lipids, ...

In a new study published recently in the journal Nature, researchers at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt Health have created the first growth charts for white matter in the brain over a human ...

When you improve, your brain changes.It is a common saying.But when we say 'the brain changes,' what exactly is ...

To enable movement, perception, memory, reasoning, emotion and various other functions, the human brain heavily relies on communication between different regions. This communication also takes place ...

Researchers at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have created one of the largest reference models ever developed ...

In a groundbreaking study published recently in the journal Nature, researchers at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt Health have created the first growth charts for white matter in the brain over a ...

Scientists have discovered that the brain’s short-range wiring may help protect cognition even as gray matter shrinks with age. Healthier connections just beneath the brain’s surface were linked to ...

Alzheimer's disease has traditionally been studied as a condition that primarily affects the brain's gray matter, where neuronal cell bodies are located and some of the disease's most characteristic ...

Much like analog-era communication lines made it possible for brick-and-mortar hubs in different cities to send cable messages around the world, white matter tracts send messages between gray matter ...

Two recently published studies shed light on how specific genes are linked to a rapid loss of gray matter brain volume in the general population and how age-related decline of white matter ...
