For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study ...

After reconstructing the scans to create a ‘brain map’ for each individual, the researchers discovered a link between the brain’s function and its shape or geometry.

Using a corkscrew, writing a letter with a pen or unlocking a door by turning a key are actions that seem simple but actually ...

Traffic pollution impairs brain function First-in-the-world study suggests that even brief exposure to air pollution has rapid impacts on the brain Date: January 25, 2023 Source: University of ...

To better understand these effects on the brain, Mehta and her colleagues used MRI to measure brain volume in 208 individuals and fMRI to measure brain function in 174 individuals. Participants either ...

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.

Higher-order connectomics of human brain function reveals local topological signatures of task decoding, individual identification, and behavior. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038 ...

The sum of the bio-computational functions of the brain makes up 'the mind,'" said study senior author Nico Dosenbach, a neurology professor at Washington University School of Medicine.
