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

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind for life. Adolescence is a major turning point not only for social and ...

The brain, much like muscles, strengthens through challenge and rest. Neuroplasticity allows adult brains to form new ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

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

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

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...
