Fans of “brain flossing” swear it helps them relax, sleep and concentrate. A wellness expert explains how it works and how it can benefit health.

The new microscope offers a number of benefits over the existing brain-imaging technologies, including greater sensitivity, safety, storage size of images and power usage. Specifically, the new system ...

The researchers used a laser-powered microscope to record how individual cells in the animal’s visual cortex lit up as they processed the images flashing by. Next, scientists at the Allen Institute ...

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

It mostly occurs in people older than 65 years old, and average onset is age 70; Joel is slightly older at age 76. Just 0.2% of people who are between 70 and 80 years old get NPH and 5.9% of those ...

A colorized computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain revealing blood vessels in the brain. A new study finds microplastics accumulate at higher levels in human brains than in the liver and kidneys.

Two brain systems are involved. One, in the basal ganglia (a set of structures deep in the brain’s interior), responds automatically and predictably to certain stimuli.

A new test has been developed that reduces the time it takes to diagnose types of brain tumours from weeks to just hours, researchers say. Surgeons have described the "ultra-rapid" method of ...

Brain scans now show that fasting doesn’t just influence how we eat, it reshapes how we think by changing our brains. The practice appears to strengthen regions of the brain involved in focus ...

Billy Joel, the arena-filling Everyman singer-songwriter, has canceled all of his upcoming concerts, including a large-scale tour scheduled for this year and next, because of a brain disorder ...
