A new study has identified brain regions crucial for remembering words and how they are affected in people with temporal lobe epilepsy.

How a person's brain grows and makes connections can determine intelligence ... slender projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses—have a much higher density in the gyri (convex parts) ...

By combining a new method for extracting features from human magnetoencephalography data and decoding analyses, the authors provide incomplete evidence of an early, swift change in the brain regions ...

A CSF leak occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) escapes from the protective layer surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This is a serious condition that can cause headaches, seizures ...

Brain activity may indicate that after death, our souls depart from our bodies. New studies on brain activity during the dying process suggest that the brain may remain active even after clinical ...

The study, led by researchers from the University of New Mexico, looked at dozens of samples of post-mortem liver and brain tissues taken from both men and women in 2016 and 2024. It found that in ...

Your brain isn’t stagnant; throughout your lifetime, many changes occur as a result of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors that accompany emotional, intellectual, and physical ...

Researchers identified a gene that seems to help slow brain aging in women, and studied links between hormone therapy, menopause and Alzheimer’s. By Gina Kolata Women’s brains are superior to ...

Whether mice persist with a task, explore new options or give up comes down to the activity of three types of neuron in the brain. In experiments, researchers at University College London (UCL ...

A protein involved in Alzheimer’s disease progression has been linked to normal brain ageing, raising the prospect that researchers could target it to stave off age-related mental decline.

An Australian start-up has launched the "first commercialised biological computer" made of human brain cells at a conference in Barcelona. The team behind it believe it could be used as a type ...
