Emerging evidence suggests nanoplastics accumulate in human tissues including the brain and may contribute to ...

Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

One of the defining features of human evolution is the steady expansion of our brains. New findings suggest this growth may be partly linked to higher levels of estrogen before birth. Surprisingly, a ...

A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

A tiny blob of gelatinous tissue sitting in a dish represents a giant leap forward in human brain research. Known as an organoid, it's a living 3D model of a human organ; one of the first to ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique.

By studying the tiny brains of honeybees, researchers are learning more about how we make decisions.

A millisecond delay in the speed of nerve impulses from the legs of a jogger can lead to a loss of balance with the potential ...
