Disturbing new research into a ubiquitous contaminant has revealed its concerning effects on the brain.

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

Recent research has found that the thalamus may act like a “relay station” for consciousness by modulating cortical activity in the brain. Researchers found “thalamocortical loops,” where information ...

Redefining Research: This study shows that a human-based brain organoid model can mimic key brain functions such as ...

Data from a new study links a pair of duplicated genes to human brain features. The research provides a roadmap for scientists to gain a deeper understanding of brain function and evolution, as well ...

Scientists have developed a brain-inspired semiconductor that can adjust its responses based on experience, much like human neurons do through “intrinsic plasticity.” ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

A team of scientists at Duke University made a mouse just a bit more human. They didn’t give it speech or opposable thumbs. They gave it something much smaller — a tiny stretch of human DNA known as ...
