In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and ...

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

To this day, in the known universe, only one example exists of a system capable of general-purpose intelligence. That system ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Where does imagination come from? A new fMRI study in Neuron reveals that mental imagery emerges from the brain's association ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

A specialized model used by researchers is becoming a valuable tool for studying human brain development, diseases and potential treatments, according to a team of scientists at Rutgers University-New ...

Aerobic fitness has been linked to brain health in seniors, yet studies across adulthood are scarce. Our data show that the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Groundbreaking research from Karolinska Institutet reveals that humans can grow new neurons well into old age, offering new hope ...
