New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

Researchers build first-ever molecular atlas of blood vessel pathways in the human brain, across early brain development, adulthood and disease Studying the growth patterns of the brain’s vasculature ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

The brain learns through repeated exposure. Each revisit strengthens the signal between neurons, making recall faster and ...

Duke-NUS scientists have built one of the largest and most comprehensive maps of the developing human brain, marking a major step forward in testing new therapies for Parkinson’s disease and other ...

I feel guilty. I am exhausted and I feel guilty taking a siesta. But I am getting over myself—sometimes. Taking a break isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for building new neural pathways. The brain ...

The human brain grows in size and creates new neural pathways during the first nine years of life, which begin at birth. The ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...
