Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Embark on a journey to unravel the intricate anatomy of the central nervous system, specifically focusing on the sagittal section of the brain and spinal cord. This approach allows us to visualize and ...

Summary: Researchers found that the touch-processing region of the brain ages in a layered pattern, with some layers staying resilient while others thin over time. High-resolution MRI scans revealed ...

The cerebral cortex plays a key role in predicting the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memories. A new study shows that networks of neurons, rather than single neurons, are ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...
