AI was the key that unlocked these brain “neighborhoods.” They could also light the way to curing disorders like Alzheimer’s.

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region.

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

Blueberries: Nature's Memory Boosters These tiny blue powerhouses pack an extraordinary punch when it comes to brain health.

The cerebellum, one of three main parts that make up your brain, is responsible for coordinating movement and balance. Also known as the “little brain,” it plays a vital role in language and attention ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...

Researchers at the Salk Institute have identified a missing molecule, pleiotrophin, as a possible key to repairing faulty ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

Now why would someone throw paint all over a perfectly good human brain? The good news is that this isn’t a paint splattered brain, but the colors are meaningful. This is a functional magnetic ...
