Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the morphology ...

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

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 comprehensive analysis has revealed that major depressive disorder alters both the physical architecture and the ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

Using a corkscrew, writing a letter with a pen or unlocking a door by turning a key are actions that seem simple but actually require a complex orchestration of precise movements. So, how does the ...

The human brain is a marvel of nature, a labyrinth of neurons and synapses that dictates every aspect of our behavior, thoughts, and feelings. Yet, despite its critical role in our lives, it remains ...
