The team’s research provides compelling evidence for the brain’s influence on physiology. A deeper understanding of this mind ...

For decades, scientists have worked to peer deeper into the brain. They have wanted to see not just surface activity in the cortex but also the hidden layers beneath, such as the hippocampus, where ...

A newly identified lymphatic drainage pathway along the middle meningeal artery reveals how the human brain clears waste. How does the brain clear away waste? This task is handled by the brain’s ...

When you’re short on sleep and your focus suddenly drifts, your brain may be briefly slipping into cleanup mode. Scientists ...

How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain's lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand how it works have pushed the boundaries of brain-imaging technologies. A new ...

Stressful study sessions help us pass exams, but curiosity promotes long-term understanding and information retention. In A ...

The brain shows a capacity to recover from traumatic injury, which somewhat contradicts the widely accepted idea that neurons do not regenerate. So how is recovery possible? In a new JNeurosci paper, ...

Researchers have developed a machine learning model capable of predicting whether a patient with depression will respond to ...
