How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Arianna Huffington breaks down the impact of daily behaviors on brain health.

Recent research indicates a link between an animal’s gut bacteria and brain function. This may be true in humans, too. Experiments showed that gene expression in the brains of the mice began to take ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Groundbreaking research from Karolinska Institutet reveals that humans can grow new neurons well into old age, offering new hope ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...
