A new study published in PLoS Biology has found that learning a new motor skill sets off two different types of cellular ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

"This is the first study to directly link senescence-related molecular networks in living human brain tissue to measurable differences in brain structure within the same individuals," said Noam ...

The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the morphology ...

Scientists found a hidden 'gatekeeper' in brain cells that may explain—and help stop—Alzheimer's damage.

Scientists have mapped the brains of several animal species in remarkable detail, but the human brain remains comparatively ...

A human biologist told Newsweek that Alzheimer's research should stop focusing on one molecule and study the wider system.

Researchers used advanced MRI techniques to track how the human brain changes when learning a new motor sequence. They found that practicing a new skill causes a temporary swelling of brain cells ...
