The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

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. Though it may be little, ...

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 ...

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy.

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 ...

Perhaps the most compelling finding from a UW Medicine study to help stroke victims recover hand movement is that if its first subject applied to be part of the study today, he would not qualify.
