Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim and the German Primate Center—Leibniz ...
An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...
In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...
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 ...
A new study of brain activity patterns in people doing a memory task finds that the way we make inferences changes dramatically as we age. Members of Alison Preston’s research group study fMRI brain ...
Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...
How does a child's brain develop? Why are the first five years more powerful than most of us ever realize? Check out these simple, practical tips to boost your child's development from birth to age ...
Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...
SEATTLE, WASH. — DECEMBER 23, 2025 — Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet ...
