A large MRI study of 1,761 schizophrenia patients shows that disrupted brain asymmetry is real but subtle, and varies with ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have built a cross-species atlas of gene regulatory networks governing ...

A recent study suggests that the human brain emerges from two separate organs, a discovery that may impact future treatments ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives. Our ...

The human brain stands as perhaps nature’s most extraordinary creation, constantly evolving throughout our lives in response to a complex interplay of biological and environmental influences. This ...

Cell-based models of the human cortex transplanted into mice produce neurons that are inaccessible in vitro, and could enable scientists to link brain injury to behaviour.

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like ...

Scientists are continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in neuroscience. A study out today illustrates that it’s possible to create mice with more human brain-like tissue than ever seen ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to get medicine across the blood-brain barrier. Two treatments for a rare genetic ...

Walk into a concert hall, and your brain greets the music as something closer to a conversation than a broadcast. A recording plays the same notes every time, but a performer in the room reads the ...
