A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity ...

New research by Georgetown scientists shows how the brain rewires itself to automate learned tasks. The findings challenge a long-held understanding of how humans master complex skills, suggesting ...

Neuroscientists have sought to better understand brain function but lacked the capability to observe neuronal activity deep within the brain. Scientists have applied rational molecular engineering to ...

A myocardial infarction (MI), or heart attack, doesn't just damage the cardiovascular system—it can dramatically reshape how ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

To correct this longstanding oversight, the Rutgers Brain Health Institute has launched the Women’s Brain Health Initiative, ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...

The human body relies on complex and coordinated interactions between the brain and peripheral organ systems to maintain a stable biological environment and support essential functions like behavior ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...

Executive function skills is a term we hear a lot these days—almost like a buzzword. But what does it mean, and how does it relate to ADHD? Executive function skills are brain-based abilities that ...
