A 'mind-blowing' discovery has been made about the way the human brain works. A study of people born with one hand suggests that areas of the brain are organised by functions rather than individual ...
To better appreciate how a complex organ such as the brain functions, scientists strive to accurately understand both its detailed cellular architecture and the intercellular communications taking ...
Our brains actively construct vision in near-darkness, blending residual light with memory and prediction. Even with minimal visual input, the brain maintains coherence, relying on internal models and ...
With an estimated 86 billion neurons, the 3lb organ between your ears may be one of the most complex objects in the universe. All that complexity allows the brain to process more than 70,000 thoughts ...
The fantastic complexity of how the human mind functions will be laid bare for the first time today when an international team of scientists unveils the world's first "brain atlas". Neurologists and ...
A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways associated with differences in brain size and cognitive function A new study sug ...
The brain carries out a huge variety of tasks every day. This includes receiving and processing information about the environment and taking actions based on thoughts, feelings and perceptions. The ...
Research indicates that activities like dance, martial arts, and team sports significantly enhance cognitive function beyond traditional workouts. These complex movements stimulate the brain, ...
Our understanding of the brain needs to be regularly updated to avoid mistaken assumptions about how best to harness its capability. For example, it might help to look at some myths around dopamine ...
