New study demonstrates for the first time that changes in cognitive performance correlate with changes in brain structure in NASA astronauts following spaceflight.

“Rather than actively shaping experience, the thalamus (if it is considered at all) has typically been relegated to a role in gating contents into consciousness,” the team explains in its paper.

Patterns of white matter microstructure present at birth and that develop after birth predict the cognitive function of children at ages 1 and 2, new research has found.

Brain Structure & Function publishes research that provides insight into brain structure-function relationships. Studies published here integrate data spanning from molecular, cellular ...

Brain structure and function may predict a child's future memory performance, according to a Jan. 29 study in The Journal of Neuroscience. The findings suggest magnetic resonance imaging and other ...

A new study may overturn more than 100 years of accepted science about how the brain functions. Researchers applied a mathematical model to brain activity and found that brain function may have ...

Researchers discover that a brain structure is arranged differently than scientists previously believed, paving the way for new insights into Alzheimer's.

A recent study suggests that working long hours not only drains your energy but could also change your brain, affecting your ...
