UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

A new study suggests that where a person lives can be linked to their brain health and potential risk for dementia. Researchers found that individuals residing in neighborhoods with greater social, ...

An international study—the largest of its kind—has uncovered similar structural changes in the brains of young people ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive ...

Like fingerprints, human brains are unique. Scientists are working to map the variability of individual brains and to inform personalized therapeutics for treatment-resistant disease. These findings ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) computer programs that process MRI results show differences in how the brains of men and women are organized at a cellular level, a new study shows. These variations were ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

A strong relationship exists between sleep and brain health. Long-term sleep disruptions can increase the risk of ...
