Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...

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 ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...
