"This response evolved to help us cope with new challenges and can help us form stronger memories in order to deal with these ...

New research shows that mild COVID-19 alters brain structure and connectivity in key areas responsible for memory and cognition, emphasizing the lasting effects on young people’s brain health. Study: ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

The human brain, despite representing only about 2% of total body weight, consumes approximately 20% of the body’s energy resources. This metabolic intensity makes the brain particularly responsive to ...

While we've known for some time that obesity affects the brain, scientists have found that, more importantly, it's where you carry it that matters. And it's the deep visceral fat around organs that ...

There is debate about when white matter was first identified and named. Now known as glia, which Koob (2009) points out is the Greek word for glue, some research indicates that Rudolf Virchow, a ...

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

Summary: Advanced imaging reveals that COVID-19 may cause lasting brain changes, even in people without ongoing symptoms, ...
