In a development that could transform how scientists study cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammation, researchers have invented a new sensor that enables MRI machines to visualize molecular activity ...

WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict ...

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

Recently, a major study found a link between choline levels in the brain and anxiety disorders. So what does this mean for you? Let’s break it down: what you need to know, how this nutrient might ...

Discover the brain science behind how birds learn to sing, from song nuclei to social cues and critical learning windows.

When specialized cells called tanycytes stop working, disease-causing tau proteins build up in the brain. A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the ...

Young adults with high social anxiety show heightened activity in the brain's visual processing areas. These neural changes explain their high alertness to social threats and offer a physical marker ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can ...

New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

And that might sound like a joke, but the absence of challenge has done something to my confidence I didn't see coming. It ...
