Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

Fear has a scent. Here’s how this invisible chemical signal has shaped human perceptions, emotions and survival instincts.

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

For decades, researchers have attempted to pinpoint the specific areas of the brain responsible for human intelligence. A new ...

"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 ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...
