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

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

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

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 ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Your brain is wrinkled like a walnut, and those wrinkles aren't just for show. Each fold increases the amount of surface area ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational har ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...

As people age, structural brain changes influence their ability to adapt to the environment. New from eNeuro , Tatiana Wolfe ...
