This exploratory study in healthy young adults found that plasma sodium levels within the normal clinical range are ...

Researchers use cortical organoids to answer fundamental questions such as how the human brain can grow to its large size or how the human brain's long-range connections form. However, cortical ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Your brain is constantly juggling information that arrives in a flash with thoughts that unfold over seconds, minutes, or ...

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 ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...

Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...
