From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

The brain stem is a portion of the brain made of four distinct sections: the diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of these sections has associated functions which are vital ...

BraDiPho (Brain Dissection Photogrammetry) is an innovative tool for the study of white matter connections in the human brain ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

A team of researchers has identified a previously unrecognized hub for waste clearance in the human brain, located along a major artery supplying the brain’s protective outer layer. This discovery, ...

The brain is the “control center” of the body. Together with the spinal cord, it makes up the central nervous system. Various parts of the brain are responsible for movement, breathing, and other ...

Neuroscience examines the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, a group of authors explored how Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism shapes the neurovascular unit (NVU), potentially linking ...
