Though much about the brain remains a mystery, scientists have long surmised that our thoughts, feelings and behavior are the result of billions of interconnected neurons that transmit signals to each ...

Scientists have determined that how the brain shape changes with age could indicate early signs of dementia. Experts are finding that the best way to understand how the brain ages is not by examining ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

Researchers have identified thousands of genes linked to brain structure that shine a light on how our genetic makeup shapes the development of the brain, according to research published in Nature ...

Emerging research indicates that subtle shifts in brain geometry, beyond just size, may signal future cognitive decline. A study found that changes in how brain regions expand and contract correlate ...

Your brain is more superficial than we thought. Scientists from the University of Monash in Melbourne, Australia, have found that the shape of your brain could strongly influence how you think, feel ...
