It’s not every day that scientists find a completely new aspect of human anatomy, but one study is providing exactly that, describing a previously unknown network of tunnels located between the skull and the brain.
Swedish researchers have created a systematic and detailed map of the cell types of the mouse nervous system. The researchers will now use the same methods to map out the human brain on a detailed level.
Researchers have just made a breakthrough discovery in how we can possibly treat stroke patients in the future.
Using human stem cells, researchers create 3-D model of the brain to study a mutation tied to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.
US Scientists managed to identify the gene that caused Alzheimer’s disease. Not only that, but they also managed to neutralize the gene so that it did not lead to Alzheimer’s development.
Investigators have discovered dozens of new genetic variations associated with a person's general cognitive ability. While profiling cognitive ability, researchers also discovered a genetic overlap with longevity.
A professor from the University of Southern California has demonstrated the use of a brain implant to improve the human memory.
The Allen Institute for Brain Science has added the first data from human nerve cells to a publicly available database for researchers to explore and understand the building blocks of the human brain.
Do social pressures cause the evolution of big brains? The debate is ongoing.
Psilocybin makes a brain circuit involved in depression break down and reform anew.
By scanning the brains of healthy volunteers, researchers saw the first, long-sought evidence that our brains may drain some waste out through lymphatic vessels, the body's sewer system.
After a 30-year quest, a US professor has discovered the molecule that stores long-term memories. The discovery resolves one of the oldest mysteries in neuroscience — how do our brains create and retain long-term memories.
A treatment already in use for epilepsy and depression—can help to restore consciousness even after many years in a vegetative state.
This may be the first ever recorded case of “healing” brain damage.
For the first time, a primitive movie has been encoded in, and then played back from, DNA in living cells.
