A genetic analysis of the nuclei also showed that superager neural cells have increased gene activity linked to stronger synaptic connections, greater plasticity, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

In other words, get ready to grab your binoculars, says a group of brain researchers in Canada.

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from ...

Researchers identify the fusiform imagery node as the brain's "imagination hub," explaining why strokes can cause the loss of visual mental imagery.
