Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small adjustments to make sure it doesn't fall over. It ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.

The Johns Hopkins-created maps provide higher resolution and better coverage of gray matter than previously published maps, ...

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have found a key mechanism through which the typical age-related decline in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Groundbreaking research from Karolinska Institutet reveals that humans can grow new neurons well into old age, offering new hope ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

A brief afternoon nap may reset key brain processes, helping the mind stay flexible, focused, and ready to learn.

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

Neuroscientists identify a CRF-neuron "switch" in the brain's BNST region that, when activated, allows for significantly faster unlearning of fear responses.
