Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Predicting cognitive processes from brain activation maps remains a key challenge in neuroscience. Meta-analytic functional decoding provides an estimation of behavioral profiles associated with ...

Cellular senescence is commonly defined as a state characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest in the absence of cell death, in which cells have altered function. While cellular senescence has been ...

How did the human brain become so much larger than that of our closest evolutionary relatives? Part of the answer lies not in ...

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

Sitting at the bottom of the brain is a thumb-sized structure called the brainstem that connects the organ to the spinal cord. 1 It has crucial functions in regulating breathing, heart rate, ...

The long-held belief that brain structure is fixed early in life has largely given way to the well-established concept of neuroplasticity—the idea that brain structure and function continue to change ...

NEW YORK and BOSTON, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A groundbreaking study published today in the journal CELL and led by researchers from the Living Brain Project at the Icahn School of Medicine ...

Researchers have mapped several direct routes between the human thalamus and amygdala that may help the brain respond rapidly ...

Scientists have discovered why common marmosets have unusually small, smooth brains despite starting development much like ...
