From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...

The human brain is made up of around 86 billion neurons, linked by trillions of connections. For decades, scientists have believed that we need to map this intricate connectivity in detail to ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American The era of Big Neuroscience has arrived. In ...

With the global prevalence of obesity on the rise, it is crucial to explore the neural mechanisms linked to obesity and its influence on brain and cognitive health. However, the impact of obesity on ...

Small studies suggest that people with migraine may exhibit slight differences in brain structure and function compared to people who don’t have this neurological condition. Structural changes, such ...

Local high school students will test their knowledge of brain anatomy and function in the eighth annual WNY Brain Bee from 10 a.m. to noon Feb. 21 in Canisius College’s Science Hall, Main Street and ...
