If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome, of our neural ...

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 ...

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

The neurological impact of adolescent football players subjected to head traumas is unclear. While American football might promote teamwork, repeated subconcussive blows can cause neurological ...

The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...

Down syndrome results in changes to the structure and function of neural circuits in the brain. Delivering a specific protein ...

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 ...

New research published in BMJ Mental Health sheds light on the relationship between lifetime cannabis use and brain health in ...

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty in which genes often play a role. How do genes associated with dyslexia relate to brain structure in the general population? In a large-scale study published ...

Persistent poor sleep may prevent the brain from flushing out waste raising the risk of dementia, scientists revealed today. Research has long suggested that the glymphatic system gets rid of the ...
