A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution ...

Brain scans, postmortem dissections, artificial intelligence and lab mice reveal differences in the brain that are linked to ...

From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

How can the amazing abilities of our memory be explained on the basis of brain anatomy? It is known that different brain functions are anchored in different areas and structures of the brain.

Explore brain anatomy, from the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem, to the deep structures within the brain, such as the limbic system and basal ganglia.

The human brain is comprised of a number of different regions. Each of these regions are vitally important with highly specialized functions. The brain is roughly divided into three parts which ...

Paleoneurobiologist Emiliano Bruner explores the superpower of projecting images and words that has allowed us to make a ...

The cerebellum is involved in coordinating movement and balance. It is also thought to aid learning and can process lots of information.

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 ...

This discovery not only offers new avenues for AI development, but may also offer insights into the inner workings of our own brains.

One might naturally ask what distinguishes human brain anatomy from the brains of the great apes and other mammals.
