"This is the first study to directly link senescence-related molecular networks in living human brain tissue to measurable differences in brain structure within the same individuals," said Noam ...

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 novel placebo-controlled study has found daily caffeine consumption can significantly reduce the volume of gray matter in the human brain. These findings do not immediately suggest caffeine ...

The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes ...

Scientists have identified nanoscale lymphatic-like vessels - a network that may help explain how fluids and waste move through brain tissue.

A new imaging breakthrough combines ultrasound and light-based techniques to generate vivid 3D images that show both tissue ...

A new study shows that a second pregnancy uniquely alters the brain, focusing on attention and sensory networks to help mothers care for multiple children.

Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping structural eras, each shaped by distinct shifts in the wiring that carries signals ...

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, ...
