An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

In today’s fast-paced world, the need for cognitive enhancement has never been greater. Maintaining optimal brain function is essential for success as we navigate through our daily responsibilities, ...

Every week, Harvard Medical School neuro-oncologist Annie Hsieh treats patients with gliomas—the most common type of brain cancer, including the deadliest, glioblastoma. After Hsieh's neurosurgeon ...

Explore the parallels and differences between AI architectures and the human brain's design and functionality in processing ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.
