Your nervous system is a network that sends signals between your brain and other parts of your body to control your body's movements and processes. This system includes your brain, spinal cord, and ...

Scientists at Duke University have developed an ultrafast photoacoustic imaging system capable of capturing the functional and molecular changes that occur in major brain disorders. Imaging techniques ...

The limbic system helps regulate emotional and social processing, as well as learning, motivation, and memory. It consists of structures that lie beneath the outer, wrinkly part of the brain and above ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

Researchers measured acetylcholine production in participants' brains at the beginning and end of the 10-week trial.

In a new study, researchers found that after traumatic brain injury, the brain's immune system cells' internal recycling function slowed dramatically, allowing waste products to build up and interfere ...

Two projects — one that maps the function of the brain’s neuronal network in unprecedented detail and another that combines robotics and light-based computer circuits to create safe self-driving ...

A new treatment may be in sight for stroke patients after scientists successfully reprogrammed immune cells to replace damaged brain cells and restore brain function after stroke-like injury. Every ...

Research indicates that activities like dance, martial arts, and team sports significantly enhance cognitive function beyond traditional workouts. These complex movements stimulate the brain, ...

New research published in BMJ Mental Health sheds light on the relationship between lifetime cannabis use and brain health in ...

Why do cats generally live longer than dogs? New research suggests that longer lifespans of mammals like cats could be linked to their bigger brains and more complex immune systems. Why do cats ...
