Researchers performed complete-brain voxel-wise fMRI to identify brain areas with functional-type compensation.

Researchers produced 3D bioprinted human brain tissues, allowing for the creation of functioning neural networks that could simulate network activity in normal and pathological situations.

Life has a challenging tempo. Sometimes, it moves faster or slower than we'd like. Nevertheless, we adapt. We pick up the rhythm of conversations. We keep pace with the crowd walking a city sidewalk.

Study reveals that maternal emotional well-being during pregnancy is linked to significant brain development benefits in children, particularly in the hippocampal volume of female offspring.
