There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

Some people say that today there are almost no "blank spots" left on our planet - that is, places completely unexplored by humans. And therefore, supposedly, life today has become more boring than, ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Even if you think you learned everything that you needed to know way back in biology class, everyone has knowledge gaps. And often you’re not even aware that they exist. There are tons of things we ...

Recent research has confirmed that nanoplastics can cross cellular barriers, including the blood-brain barrier (a highly selective, semi-permeable membrane that protects the brain from harmful ...

As a psychologist and neuroscientist with over two decades of research, I’m shocked by all the pseudoscience and misinformation on the internet about the brain and mental health. The truth is: Brain ...
