Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps ...

Leading scientists and bioethicists are urging the creation of an international oversight body to monitor advances in human ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back.

Recent research identifies protective brain cells, known as microglia, that can help slow Alzheimer's by reducing ...

Summary: Scientists have built one of the most comprehensive single-cell maps of the developing human brain. The new BrainSTEM framework analyzed nearly 680,000 fetal brain cells to chart their growth ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, ...

For decades, we've been told that weight loss is a matter of willpower: eat less, move more. But modern science has proven ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

Researchers have identified special immune cells in the brain that help slow Alzheimer's disease. These microglia work to ...
