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 ...

Individuals with high levels of psychopathy tend to struggle with feeling concern for others, and new research links these ...

About 10 years ago, a small piece of human brain arrived in the lab of Dr. Jeff Lichtman at Harvard. It came directly from an operating room of a nearby hospital, where it was excised from an epilepsy ...

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 ...

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 ...

(CNN) — Ten years ago, Dr. Jeff Lichtman — a professor of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard University — received a small brain sample in his lab. Although tiny, the 1 cubic millimeter of ...

The animal brain is so complex, it would take a supercomputer and vast amounts of data to create a detailed 3-D model of the billions of neurons that power it. But computer scientists and a professor ...
