A popular technique for studying brain disorders, known as lesion network mapping (LNM), appears to have a fundamental ...

A genetic breakthrough reveals why mental health conditions often occur together. New research identifies five disorder ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

A hidden protein buildup in brain blood vessels may quietly quadruple dementia risk—often without a stroke as warning.

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

A heart attack activates stress circuits in the brain that evolved for survival but can amplify inflammation, disrupt healing ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...

The Arctic ground squirrel survives conditions that would cause irreparable brain damage in almost any other mammal on the ...
