The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

The team thinks this means that the cingulate cortex manages the social purpose and context of the facial gesture, which is ...

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...

Adrian Wanner is working to understand how neurons are connected in the brain – a challenge that demands new imaging methods like X-ray ptychography. “The brain is one of the most complex biological ...

The images display colour-coded signals from the ATP sensor expressed by the mice’s nerve cells. The sequence (from top left to bottom right) shows the drop in ATP levels during a spreading ...
