Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz have trained lab-grown clusters of mouse brain cells to balance a ...

A growing body of research is converging on specific brain regions and networks that appear to generate conscious experience, from dreaming to waking awareness. Multiple independent lines of evidence ...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) separates the central nervous system from the peripheral blood circulation, and performs various functions such as dictating central nervous system (CNS)-specific ...

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early brain scans showed that gray matter changes dramatically through the teen years ...

Finger length may reveal more than you think about human evolution. Boys with higher prenatal estrogen exposure showed larger head sizes at birth, pointing to a possible hormonal boost behind the ...

Some sex differences in brain-connectivity patterns become more pronounced with age, according to new research. Researchers studying brain-imaging data from people aged between 8 and 100 found that ...

Year after year, government records show late summer is when most babies are born, with August as the most common birth month. That means – right now – tens of thousands of future parents are planning ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development. The study is published in ...

Researchers have identified neurons in mice that help build endurance after running. They suspect that similar cells exist in people, which could be targeted with drugs or other therapies to amplify ...
