The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without dividing the mind.

The brain’s wiring forms a unique fingerprint that reveals how we think, remember, and make decisions. A new study offers the ...

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region. Previous research has ...

The field of molecular neuroscience has increasingly recognized that, while the nervous system is characterized by impressive resilience and plasticity, it ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Physical activity supports the same brain systems targeted in clinical treatment”— Dr. Stanford Owen GULFPORT, LA, ...

A new Chinese research institute is exploring the impact on cognition of voyages into outer space and the deep ocean, and is also seeking global researchers to join its ranks. Extended space flight ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

Rutgers researchers are launching a clinical trial to explore whether alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-enriched nutrition can improve memory and brain health in older adults with mild cognitive impairment ...
