Research links disrupted biological rhythms to dementia risk, but sleep length alone may not be the key factor.

Scientists have uncovered a way to manipulate the pathway in monkey brains that puts the brakes on motivation.

Many days blur together in our memories, but emotionally charged moments tend to leave a much sharper image. These experiences tend to stay with us for a long time, often becoming the milestones of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...

The human brain has four distinct turning points where its structure changes, according to a study published in the journal Nature Communications, demonstrating that brain development is not as linear ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...
