The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are a visual icon for intelligence itself. Peeling back the layers of this ...

Called the human connectome, this structural system of neural pathways develops as people age. A new study shows transmission speed among brain regions increases into early adulthood. Learning more ...

The study defines a new neuroscientific paradigm (synergistic model), which allows to better understand the complexity of the interactions between brain, body and environment and paves the way to ...

Neuroimmunology has rapidly evolved as a critical field for understanding how inflammatory and immune processes shape the pathophysiology of brain ...

Scientists use machine learning and SPERRFY to decode the genetic wiring map that guides neural connections across the entire ...

When two people interact, their brain activity becomes synchronized, but it was unclear until now to what extent this "brain-to-brain coupling" is due to linguistic information or other factors, such ...

Our memories of past events are typically not isolated, but they are linked to other related memories. This ability to ...

Researchers have uncovered remarkable new insights into the neural pathways of the brain that allow people to act to regulate their body temperature in response to changes in the environment. Their ...

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 ...

A single psychedelic trip may cause physical changes in the brain that could explain why some people report psychological ...
