The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

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

For decades, researchers have attempted to pinpoint the specific areas of the brain responsible for human intelligence. A new ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

Now why would someone throw paint all over a perfectly good human brain? The good news is that this isn’t a paint splattered brain, but the colors are meaningful. This is a functional magnetic ...
