Stroke and brain haemorrhage are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. Understanding the difference ...

There's a quiet irony at the center of modern neuroscience. The more precisely researchers can peer inside the brain, with ...

A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity ...

Neuroscientists have sought to better understand brain function but lacked the capability to observe neuronal activity deep within the brain. Scientists have applied rational molecular engineering to ...

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

New research by Georgetown scientists shows how the brain rewires itself to automate learned tasks. The findings challenge a ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...

To correct this longstanding oversight, the Rutgers Brain Health Institute has launched the Women’s Brain Health Initiative, ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...
