A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...

Human brains do something peculiar when a chimpanzee screams or hoots. Instead of treating those sounds as generic animal ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

The human brain actually lights up with signals known as ultra weak photon emotions (UPEs), which are a byproduct of metabolic processes. Researchers have now been able to detect UPEs and determine ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...

The human brain continues to surprise scientists. From how it learns to the fact that our brains glow, there's a lot we have yet to learn about the inner workings of the human brain. One especially ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

A history of traumatic brain injury may be associated with an increased risk of developing a malignant brain tumor, according to a study published Aug. 25 in JAMA Network Open. Led by a team from ...
