Structural changes in the brain’s outer layer can be detected years before amyloid-beta proteins reach high levels on brain ...

Why do human brains vary in size and shape, and how did our brains expand over evolutionary time to give us our enhanced ...

Men and women show distinct biological differences in how their brains activate during various tasks, the physical size of specific brain regions, and their behavioral traits. A new study published in ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

Scientists discovered that brain-cell axons may not be smooth tubes as textbooks have shown for more than a century, but instead naturally resemble strings of tiny pearls. Those pearl-like structures ...

Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) variability reflects meaningful brain activity, yet its structural and biological correlates during early development remain unknown. Using longitudinal ...

A large study found no solid evidence that physical activity leads to a younger-looking brain or better cognitive test scores ...

Researchers studying 353 cognitively unimpaired adults aged 60 to 94 found that higher muscular capacity was associated with lower basal ganglia perivascular space volume, while greater aerobic ...

Every day, the human brain confronts a shifting stream of environmental conditions: changing levels of air pollution, ...

The connection between physical movement and brain function has emerged as one of neuroscience’s most significant discoveries. The human brain, despite representing only 2% of body weight, consumes ...

Allen Institute researchers Leila Elabbady and Clay Reid examine brain mapping data from the MICrONS project. (Allen Institute Photo) Researchers say they’ve accomplished a feat that was said to be ...
