The high-resolution images could provide insights into diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Researchers have unveiled images of the human brain from the world's most powerful MRI, which could ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technology called decrowding expansion pathology (dExPath) to analyze brain tissue. By pulling proteins apart with dExPath, researchers can stain proteins ...

Lichtman and his team of researchers at Harvard have built some unusual contraptions that carve off slivers of mouse brains as part of a quest to understand how the mind works. Their goal is to run ...

New research has given the clearest ever picture of young children's developing brains, using a wearable brain scanner to map electrical brain activity. The work opens up new possibilities for ...

I've always wondered what exactly happens inside my brain after a sleepless night. Why does everything feel harder—thinking ...

Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli like sight and ...

Scientists on Thursday unveiled the most detailed and complex portrait yet of the human brain in a dazzling catalogue of more than 3,000 types of brain cells that collectively give rise to emotion, ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen based on reputation by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides ...

Luminescent protein, substrate, and oxygen all combine to create chemical chain reaction to produce light. Video shows the cortex of a mouse recorded over several minutes as the oxygen concentration ...
