This valuable study shows that regions of the human auditory cortex that respond strongly to voices are also sensitive to vocalizations from closely related primate species. The study is ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a ...

The long-held belief that brain structure is fixed early in life has largely given way to the well-established concept of ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

Scientists in Singapore have created one of the most detailed maps of the developing human brain. The team at Duke-NUS Medical School says these maps show how neuron connections can grow, a finding ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

Synchronization is one of nature’s most mysterious phenomena, seen when independent systems suddenly begin moving in unison. From flashing fireflies and ticking clocks to neurons firing in the brain, ...

New tools that create ultra-precise maps of our tissues are transforming our ability to diagnose and cure once-fatal illnesses ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...
