Plastic pollution is no longer an issue affecting only oceans, soil, or the air. A recent scientific study found ...
Researchers at Niigata University have used advanced three-dimensional (3D) imaging to reveal how amyloid β (Aβ) deposits ...
Such brain organoids, lab-grown clusters of human brain cells, are used to study conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, ...
The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...
Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and backward and deforms inside the skull after spaceflight.
New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...
Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...
In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...
Music doesn’t just sound different to every listener—it affects the brain in measurable ways. This video visualizes brain wave activity as it responds to music, offering a rare look at how sound ...
Fear has a scent. Here’s how this invisible chemical signal has shaped human perceptions, emotions and survival instincts.
The damage doesn't happen in long-term missions; just spending a couple of weeks in orbit can physically reshape an astronaut ...
Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...
