An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

The premotor cortex is involved in a variety of motor and cognitive functions that often cannot be unambiguously linked to its microstructural correlates. We re-analysed the cytoarchitecture of this ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

One of the defining features of humans is our brain's remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and more. These abilities stem not just from our large brain size, but also from ...

Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on-the-move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

Identifying relationships between structural and functional networks is crucial for understanding the large-scale organization of the human brain. The potential contribution of emerging techniques ...

Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the ...

On neuroscience’s big stage Nov. 15, MIT Professor Earl K. Miller will propose that thought and consciousness emerge from the fast and flexible organization of the cortex produced by the analog ...

If you've ever felt like anxiety is taking over your brain, you might have been on to something. Neuroscience now confirms that chronic anxiety doesn't just alter your mood—it reshapes the structure ...

A new study found that the leading environmental factor influencing brain structure and function is the socioeconomic status ...
