For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the ...

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

The human brain stands as perhaps nature’s most extraordinary creation, constantly evolving throughout our lives in response to a complex interplay of biological and environmental influences. This ...

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

The neurologist Marcus Raichle has remarked that studies of brain function have traditionally focused on task-evoked responses (Raichle 2010, 2015). As Daniel Kahneman has explained, such research has ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever suggested. A wave of new research is revealing hidden layers in the brain’s ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in ...

A new human study suggests that extra virgin olive oil may support brain health by influencing the gut microbiome.
