New research indicates that children with better rhythmic abilities tend to exhibit a slower, more prolonged rate of brain ...

Access to omics data has furthered our understanding of neurobiology, including the mechanics of early brain development and neurodegenerative conditions. Scientists have made good progress in ...

Our brain does not go through life in a linear fashion. A vast mapping of neural wiring, established from thousands of ...

Abstract: Neural tissue requires a great metabolic demand despite negligible intrinsic energy stores. As a result, the central nervous system (CNS) depends upon a continuous influx of metabolic ...

The research on learning and memory shows that learning is possible and memory can be enhanced across the lifespan, unless the brain is compromised by disease or injury, and even then there is more ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

Human brains go through five distinct phases of life, each defined by its own set of characteristics, according to a new ...
