Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy.

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region. Previous research has ...

It's a myth that we use only 10% of our brains. However, you're not alone in buying into this. A survey done about 10 years ago found that almost two-thirds of Americans shared this misconception.

Declining brain function is a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be delayed. A new study found that physical activity can boost brain function for up to 24 hours and, ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Brain network changes: Meditation during the retreat reduced activity in parts of the brain associated with mental chatter, making brain function more efficient overall. Enhanced neuroplasticity: When ...

Scientists have discovered a brain-boosting supplement that could help aging brains function better. The supplement is the subject is a new study published in Nature Communications, and it relies on ...

Now why would someone throw paint all over a perfectly good human brain? The good news is that this isn’t a paint splattered brain, but the colors are meaningful. This is a functional magnetic ...

Dopamine seems to be having a moment in the zeitgeist. You may have read about it in the news, seen viral social media posts about “dopamine hacking,” or listened to podcasts about how to harness what ...

The results of research in mice suggest that a type of drug developed for treating cancer may hold promise as a new treatment for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The ...
