Men and women show distinct biological differences in how their brains activate during various tasks, the physical size of specific brain regions, and their behavioral traits. A new study published in ...
Scientists discovered that brain-cell axons may not be smooth tubes as textbooks have shown for more than a century, but instead naturally resemble strings of tiny pearls. Those pearl-like structures ...
Structural changes in the brain’s outer layer can be detected years before amyloid-beta proteins reach high levels on brain ...
An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...
Scientists from the Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICRONS) consortium have published the microconnectome of a cubic millimeter of the mouse brain. This is the most complete map of this ...
Myelin, the insulating sheath around nerve fibers, is essential for fast, healthy signaling in the brain. Its patterns vary ...
Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...
Researchers studying 353 cognitively unimpaired adults aged 60 to 94 found that higher muscular capacity was associated with lower basal ganglia perivascular space volume, while greater aerobic ...
