It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

At the turn of the 20th century, Korbinian Brodmann released one of the most consequential brain maps ever. By studying the humps, grooves, layers, and cells of the cortex—the outermost layer of the ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

The way the brain’s shape changes as it ages could help to paint the picture of its overall health and offer early warning signs for dementia—years before typical symptoms emerge. Brain scan analysis ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...
