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 ...

“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.

Scientists have revealed the molecular structure of a type of receptor that's crucial to brain development and function. 'This study shows the dominant assemblies and states of the GABA receptor ...

A new study confirms the importance of maintaining healthy brain structure and connectivity by finding ways to reduce chronic stress.

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

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 ...

Wedeen plans to expand the map of the human brain into more detail. It's also important to understand the relationship between a brain's structure and its function, he said.

While traditionally associated with muscular development, research now demonstrates that resistance training significantly impacts brain structure and function through unique mechanisms distinct ...
