A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Lanzhou University has obtained ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Researchers have identified a brain protein whose absence leads to memory loss and Alzheimer’s-like damage in mice.

A new study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity provides evidence that consuming refined diets for as little as three ...

Neuroscientists have faced a longstanding challenge. Many important cerebral processes, including learning, memory formation and decision-making, are regulated by structures deep within the brain. But ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

The difference between the brain's predicted age and actual chronological age, called a brain age gap, may influence the relationship between cognitive impairment risk factors, like high blood ...

There’s no question that AI systems have accomplished some impressive feats, mastering games, writing text, and generating convincing images and video. That’s gotten some people talking about the ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

There is debate about when white matter was first identified and named. Now known as glia, which Koob (2009) points out is the Greek word for glue, some research indicates that Rudolf Virchow, a ...
