Immune cells in the meninges monitor fluid released from the brain. If the fluid contains signs of infection, disease, or damage, the immune cells initiate an immune response to tackle the problem.
Mice exposed to COVID-19 through the nasal passage, researchers noted a rapid and escalated attack on the brain by the virus that triggered a more severe outcome of the infection, even after the lungs were cleared of the disease. Researchers also found virus levels were over 1,000 times higher in the brain than other parts of the body.
With the help of water-dwelling hydras, researchers discover new evidence that animals acquire the need to sleep before developing a brain.
Do you know how many milliliters of blood is delivered to the brain per heartbeat, or whether you experience pain during brain surgery? Researchers explore five things you probably didn't know about the human brain.
Study looks at the evolutionary development of the human brain.
New patterns of brain ageing across the human lifespan have been revealed by researchers analysing microstructural changes in the brain’s white matter.
A new deep learning system is able to predict, with great accuracy, how different brain areas respond to specific words. The model also found concepts localized to the auditory cortex are less dependent on context.
Intentional forgetting may require more attention to the unwanted information, rather than less.
Brazilian scientists produce brain organoids with primitive eyes using computational fluid dynamics.
Results provide new insight into evolution, IQ and development of the human brain.
