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.
The Shamatha Project is the most comprehensive longitudinal study of intensive meditation yet undertaken and has drawn the attention of scientists and Buddhist scholars alike.
UNICEF has published a report and according to their studies, the brains of over 17 million children might be affected by pollution.
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.
Aerobic exercise can improve memory function and maintain brain health as we age, a new Australian-led study has found.
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.
Single unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) directed by joysticks, radio controllers, and mobile phones are already accomplishing a variety of useful tasks. But using multiple drones requires multiple human operators, and this presents a coordination problem.
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.
A study conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development has investigated the relationship between the availability of nature near city dwellers' homes and their brain health.
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.
