Summary: For over a century, potassium ions were viewed as mere passengers in the brain—particles that flow through channels ...

The human brain is one of the most complex parts of the body. It controls how we think, feel, remember, and behave.

A new study is the first to show that two of our most sophisticated cognitive functions, using and understanding language and being able to sense how other people feel, have distinct origins in the ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases. The platform, called Multicellular Integrated Brains or miBrains, ...

A hidden waste-removal pathway in the brain has finally been caught in action. Using cutting-edge MRI scans, researchers discovered that fluid flows along the middle meningeal artery in a slow, ...

The discovery that the brains of humans and mice age in similar ways may one day help scientists understand the factors underlying brain changes during aging. This knowledge can then help researchers ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
