A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region. Previous research has ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Alzheimer's disease has long been thought to be irreversible, but new research using a mouse model offers hope.

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 ...
