Recent research indicates a link between an animal’s gut bacteria and brain function. This may be true in humans, too.

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function.

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the ...

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 ...

A new human study suggests that extra virgin olive oil may support brain health by influencing the gut microbiome.

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

AI has all but overtaken the thinking universe. Training an early version of ChatGPT consumes about 1300 megawatt-hours of ...

I know what to do, but I can’t get going. What is happening in my brain? A good cry and short break later, I have my answer: ...
