Researchers have completed the first-ever activity map of a mammalian brain in a groundbreaking duo of studies, and it has rewritten scientists' understanding of how decisions are made. The mammoth ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, complete with blueprints, zoning rules, and emergent neighborhoods that ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...

A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution brain imaging system that can reconstruct microscopic brain structures that ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

A new study shows that the brain activity behind decision-making is far more widespread across the organ than first thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
