Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives. Our ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

The origin of humanity has been a long-debated and discussed topic amongst experts. A new study formulates a genetic model that gives some insights regarding the development of human anatomy, stated ...
