New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

A growing body of research is converging on specific brain regions and networks that appear to generate conscious experience, from dreaming to waking awareness. Multiple independent lines of evidence ...

A new neuroimaging study suggests that people who frequently control their dreams share distinct structural brain patterns. These networks bridge the areas responsible for self-reflection, visual ...

Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...

A new study has found that psychopaths show structural changes in particular areas of the brain that deal with things like impulse control and emotional regulation. This improved understanding may ...

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.

A brain structure that seems to influence food consumption could one day be targeted to enhance interventions for weight loss or gain. Studies have shown that activating neurons in this structure, ...
