A recent study has revealed that specific patterns of gene activity serve as a hidden map that guides the complex wiring of the entire brain. By using machine learning to analyze mouse brain data, ...

Differences in brain connectivity are linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, yet scientists still struggle to determine what changes are shared or unique to each condition. A new study ...

Converging evidence suggests that understanding the human brain requires more than just examining pairwise functional brain interactions. The human brain is a complex, nonlinear system, and focusing ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the processing of sensory information, the encoding of memories, attention ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

COVID-19 is associated with increased risk for cognitive decline but very little is known regarding the neural mechanisms of this risk. We enrolled 49 adults (55% female, mean age = 30.7 ± 8.7), 25 ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. Now, a study ...

Millions of people survive heart attacks each year, yet many go on to experience memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study published in ...

An international research team led by Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) in Rovereto (Trento, Italy) and the Child Mind Institute in New York (U.S.), and in ...

Many parents of teenagers have told themselves: "It's just puberty — they'll grow out of it." But while adolescence is ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
