New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...

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

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

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

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 ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough to decode its long-term memories after death. That opens the door to ...

Our episodic memory – the ability to recall past events and experiences – is known to decline as we age. Exactly how and why ...
