Scientists at Harvard Medical School have discovered a mechanism that controls the completion of critical periods of brain development: the stress hormone cortisol triggers a genetic program in ...
Summary: A developmental neurobiology breakthrough uncovered a previously unmapped molecular pathway that regulates brain ...
Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the ...
Researchers have shown that a green-Mediterranean diet can help slow brain aging. By analyzing data from the DIRECT PLUS trial, scientists found reduced levels of proteins tied to faster brain decline ...
Neurobiologist Angelo Forli has received the prestigious Career Development Grant from the Giovanni Armenise Harvard Foundation, worth 1 million dollars for a five-year project. The researcher has ...
For years, we were told that growing new brain cells in adulthood was impossible. Once the brain matured, that was it. No going back, and that you will only slowly lose memory. But science has proven ...
How does our brain, which is capable of generating complex thoughts, actions and even self-reflection, grow out of essentially nothing? An experiment in tadpoles, in which an electronic implant was ...
Harvard scientists developed a virtual rat model with an AI brain to study how brains control the movement of real rats. This innovative model accurately simulates neural activity observed in real ...
