Neurons that track which direction an animal faces can hold their firing patterns steady for months, even as other brain cells tied to spatial memory shift and rearrange. That finding, drawn from long ...

A new discovery by McGill researchers sheds light on how we retain memories over time, even though brain activity is constantly changing. Published in Nature, the preclinical study found the brain's ...

New research reveals that the microstructural integrity of specific brain pathways is associated with how intensely a person ...

While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with ...

The symptoms of schizophrenia vary greatly from person to person. A new study shows how these differences manifest themselves in the structure of the brain. The symptoms of schizophrenia vary greatly ...

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 ...

Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of precisely replicating the brain's complex multilayered structure and the lack of ...

A study of nearly 10,000 adolescents has identified distinct differences in the brain structures of those who used substances before age 15 compared to those who did not. Many of these structural ...

Your brain may contain a hidden network of vessels that helps it dispose of metabolic waste. If confirmed to be true in future studies, the discovery could transform our understanding of the brain and ...
