As neuroscience strives for generalizability and equity, understanding human brain diversity across populations is crucial.

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

SAN DIEGO — 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.

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 ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, a group of authors explored how Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism shapes the neurovascular unit (NVU), potentially linking ...

This study supports my own interpretation of the brain's capability for experience-dependent influences on brain anatomy and function. In concrete, this study demonstrates that 6-year-old children ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

Some foods may enhance your brain function when you’re studying and preparing for exams. Try snacking on colorful veggies, nuts, eggs, dark chocolate, and more for a brain boost. A balanced diet is ...

Even tiny muscles around the ears hint at our evolutionary past. In many mammals, tiny ear muscles allow the outer ear (pinna ...
