Ever noticed how one yawn can trigger many? Science reveals how your brain copies others, why yawns spread so easily, and ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how our brains differentiate from stem cells during embryonic development and early life. In a Nature collection including five papers published ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

For Day 3, we’re asking you to spend at least 20 minutes exercising for your brain. Go for a walk with your accountability ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body. These cancers cannot be cured with conventional cancer treatments, as they ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Though it may seem like fiction, we may one day see computational hardware constructed from living human brain cells rather than traditional silicon. A biocomputer harnesses biologically derived ...

Scientists are still debating whether the human brain is capable of growing new cells past childhood. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
