Computer tomography reveals modern human brain structures only originated between 1.5 to 1.7 million years ago in African Homo populations. Read More
Increasing lamin B1 levels in aging mice resulted in neural stem cell division and an increase in the number of new neurons. Read More
Gamma-wave mediated synchronization between different brain regions is a critical mechanism for neural integration. Read More
Researchers found functional and anatomical differences in the brains of people who are more likely to embark on risky behaviors. Read More
Early childhood trauma has an impact on glucose metabolism and blood composition, which are passed on to the next generation. Read More
Study identifies neurons in command of guiding adaptive behaviors. Read More
Pursuing hedonistic goals, such as taking time to yourself for relaxation or activities you enjoy, are essential, yet often neglected, for personal wellbeing. Read More
Primates with larger brains can solve much more complex tasks using their hands than smaller-brained primates. However, improved dexterity comes at a cost. In humans and other large-brained primates, it takes longer for infants to learn the simplest hand and finger movements than our smaller-brained counterparts. Read More
Familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2) causes a malfunction of astrocytes in the cingulate cortex. Manipulating astrocytes in the cingulate cortex reversed the disfunction, preventing an increase in migraine-like symptoms in mice carrying the FHM2 defect. Read More
Study examines the interactions between stem cells and neurons in both tissue regeneration and the development of cancerous tumors. Read More
Mindful meditation enhances the positive effects of a single dose of psilocybin by increasing empathy and reducing egocentricity. Read More
T helper cells in the blood of patients with multiple sclerosis infiltrate the central nervous system, causing inflammation and neural damage. Read More
