The human brain is a tangled highway of wires emanating from nearly 100 billion neurons, all of which communicate across trillions of junctions called synapses. "Depressingly complex," Harvard neuroscientist Jeff Lichtman calls it.

The overlap in clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings between Alzheimer's disease and glaucoma.

Researchers utilize 3D printing to craft cerebral cortex tissues with organized neurons, offering potential treatments for brain injuries. This novel technique prints neural progenitors in layer-by-layer sequences, aiming for accurate tissue restoration in damaged brains.

The unseasonably warm, record-breaking heat Toronto has enjoyed through early October will come to a crashing halt this Thanksgiving weekend, with ...

A breakthrough technique developed by University of Oxford researchers could one day provide tailored repairs for those who suffer brain injuries.

Patterns in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) trajectory using Mendelian randomization (MR) and deep learning (DL).

Because figuring out what is new and what is familiar in what we see is such a critically important ability for prioritizing our attention, neuroscientists have spent decades trying to figure out how our brains are typically so good at it.

Hall reflects on the loss of personal touch—but wealth of opportunities—that has come with an increasingly digital world.

Researchers have discovered the brain pathways involved in 'sleep preparatory behaviour' in mice, which is likely to also apply to humans.

After a traumatic experience, most people recover without incident, but some people - between 2% and 10%- develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition that can cause debilitating symptoms of anxiety due to emotional dysregulation.
