New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

The long-held belief that brain structure is fixed early in life has largely given way to the well-established concept of neuroplasticity—the idea that brain structure and function continue to change ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

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 ...

The connection between physical movement and brain function has emerged as one of neuroscience’s most significant discoveries. The human brain, despite representing only 2% of body weight, consumes ...

Your mental image of your brain probably looks something like what's pictured here. The cerebrum, shown here, is where all the really important stuff is supposed to happen in humans: consciousness, ...
