Why do human brains vary in size and shape, and how did our brains expand over evolutionary time to give us our enhanced cognitive abilities? Researchers at the UNC Department of Genetics and the UNC ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

A new MRI-based index shows that blood flow closely follows cell density across the layered human cortex and captures aspects ...

Scientists have discovered why common marmosets have unusually small, smooth brains despite starting development much like ...

"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 is not a single organ, but two separate systems that evolved independently before fusing together, according to groundbreaking new research. Scientists at Stanford University made the ...

Revealing the relationship between resting-state human brain structure and function is a central question for understanding brain cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders, while the problem still ...

Animal studies have described “low road” pathways that rush sensory information from the thalamus to the amygdala. A brain ...
