Human brain is actually two separate organs, scientists find - The Stanford University breakthrough stands to open new doors for research into fatal neurodegenerative diseases ...

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 ...

One alternative has been to implant human neural stem cells into the brains of another species, where they’ll generally ...

Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of precisely replicating the brain's complex multilayered structure and the lack of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes ...

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

The human brain is a marvel of complexity. It contains specialised and interconnected structures controlling our thoughts, personality and behaviour. The size and shape of our brains also play a ...

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, a team of ...

MRI research links severe Type 2 asthma with differences in brain structure and white matter associated with inflammation ...
