Our brains contain billions of neurons and trillions of connections, and scientists are only beginning to understand the ...

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...

Scientists explored how the human brain might represent information about physical spaces and about people, places and things ...

In a world of constant stimulation, the thalamus filters which thoughts we become aware of and which we don’t.

So how much of your brain do you really need to survive? Neuroscientists are still investigating this question, and there ...

In their study, the team worked with mice because their brain structures have similarities with human brains. And mice don’t have poker faces, which makes it easy for scientists to analyze their ...

In some situations, this makes quite a mess of the neat and tidy tree diagram ... was then applied to real human genetic data from the 1000 Genomes Project and the Human Genome Diversity Project. A ...

To explore sex differences in neonatal brain structure, the researchers analyzed data from 514 healthy, full-term newborns who were part of the Developing Human Connectome Project. The sample included ...
