A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Scientists say different parts of the brain are programmed to process information over different lengths of time. Some areas ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

Carnegie Mellon engineering researchers have designed the first microfabricated stainless steel neural probe that allows for safer, more accurate brain sensing.

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.

The brain constantly blends split-second reactions with slower, more thoughtful processing, and new research shows how it ...

As emotions rise and fall in everyday life, your brain keeps up, constantly adjusting. These transitions between feelings—like joy, sadness, or fear—aren’t just random reactions. They’re part of a ...
