The researchers used a sophisticated imaging approach called multicomponent relaxometry MRI, which allows them to generate maps of the brain’s myelin water fraction (MWF). This metric is ...

Orcas look like water pandas, but live up to the nickname “killer whale.” This name originates from sailors who witnessed ...

The brain may follow a similar strategy, mobilizing lipid reserves stored in the myelin sheath to sustain its function. Animal research has shown that glial cells—the support cells that produce myelin ...

This is an important study that combines replications of findings and novel detailed MRI investigations to assess the impact of environmental enrichment and maternal behavior on mice brain structure ...

A colorized computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain revealing blood vessels in the brain. A new study finds microplastics accumulate at higher levels in human brains than in the liver and ...

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

Brain-computer-interface startup Paradromics today announced that surgeons successfully inserted the company’s brain implant into a patient and safely removed it after about 10 minutes. It’s a ...

Vendors claim that it amps up brain energy, improves memory, boosts focus and dispels brain fog, among other supposed benefits. Health influencers, such as podcaster Joe Rogan, have sung its praises.

Brain rot, a phrase popular among Gen Z and Alpha, is also a notably self-deprecating term, Benjamin K. Johnson, Ph.D., an associate professor of advertising at the University of Florida, tells ...

A Texas woman died after contracting Naegleria fowleri, a fatal brain amoeba, from using unboiled tap water in a nasal irrigation device at a campground, prompting CDC warnings.

Areas of the brain that help a person differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary have been uncovered in a new study led by UCL researchers. The researchers hope that their findings ...
