The skull of a 5-year-old girl who lived 140,000 years ago has similarities with modern Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, ...

New research suggests that modern conditions may trace back to Neanderthal skull traits we share with our extinct cousins.

Researchers have measured the brain’s faint glow for the first time, hinting at a potential role of “biophotons” in cognition ...

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of our brain. The organ, housed inside the skull and protected by a bony covering called the cranium, controls thought, memory, emotion, vision, and ...

Skull Anatomy Neurocranium: The neurocranium is the portion of the skull that covers the brain. This is made up of bony plates with juncture points known as sutures.

The skull base is a complex region that provides critical support for the brain and serves as a nexus for vital neurovascular structures. Its intricate bony architecture encompasses components ...

Brain, spine, and skull base tumors are tumors that develop inside the body's central nervous system. These include growths in the brain, spinal cord, and the tissues that line them. These tumors can ...

Without MN1, brain segmentation is impaired, cranial nerves form abnormally, and bones in the skull develop incorrectly—mirroring defects seen in human syndromes like cleft palate, skull deformities ...

Most of the current brain tumor surgery often involves large incisions and removal of parts of the skull, which leads to an extensive recovery period. Skull base tumors require open craniotomy for ...

New research provides valuable insights into the brain-body immune connection identifying key communication hubs in the dural sinuses and skull bone marrow at the back of the head.

Without MN1, brain segmentation is impaired, cranial nerves form abnormally, and bones in the skull develop incorrectly—mirroring defects seen in human syndromes like cleft palate, skull deformities ...

A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology has uncovered how the MN1 gene evolved to shape both the brain and skull during embryogenesis—a link with profound implications ...
