Researchers at the University of Lausanne have identified a novel role for the brain's "locus coeruleus" in sleep and its disruptions. This brain region facilitates the transition between NREM and REM ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

The organization of the extant mammalian brain is influenced by development, evolutionary history and the environment. Ecological adaptations specifically have had a major role in shaping the ...

Stem cell transplantation can reverse stroke damage, researchers at the University of Zurich report. Its beneficial effects include regeneration of neurons and restoration of motor functions, marking ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular "traffic cops" known ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Adolescents with varied growth hormone (GH) levels exhibit height discrepancies. This study investigated the association of height and GH on structural-functional connectivity (SC-FC) coupling within ...
