Research shows that neurogenesis, collateral sprouting, synaptogenesis, exercise, and an enriched complex housing environment all enhance overall brain and body potential.

Researchers say they have found clear evidence that the human brain can keep making new neurons well into adulthood, potentially settling decades of controversy. This new neuron growth, or ...

Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and ALS ...

Explore the parts and functions of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves with detailed diagrams. Learn how the parts work together to support your body.

Experimental stem cell treatments offer another potential way to manage Parkinson’s—these techniques seek not only to replace or mimic dopamine, but to repair the brain circuitry lost due to ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California–San Francisco have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to ...

Stem cells can restore brain function even weeks after a stroke. It reduces overactive brain signals and improves recovery.

The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor.

The brain is made up of many different parts, each responsible for maintaining certain processes in the body or mind. The medulla oblongata is a small area of the brain stem.

Explore brain anatomy, from the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem, to the deep structures within the brain, such as the limbic system and basal ganglia.
