A new study published in the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics suggests that the way the brain processes language and ...

A new study has found that men recovering from alcohol use problems tend to have less brain tissue in areas linked to ...

The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum. Nested deeper within the brain are essential structures such as the basal ganglia, the amygdala, and the hippocampus. Toward the bottom ...

We have identified brain areas that show increased activation as a function of the degree of temporal structure of the stimulus, which must, therefore, lie at a higher level in the auditory ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

Poor cardiovascular health in childhood and adolescence, indicated by higher BMI, increased blood pressure, and lower physical activity, is linked to changes in brain structure, particularly in ...

Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

This study adds to the growing evidence that Alzheimer’s disease may start long before traditional symptoms appear. The fact ...

Researchers have developed a method to study bird brains by creating digital endocasts from empty cranial spaces in bird skeletons. Using this technique, they discovered that physical brain tissues ...

To investigate how people build sentence structure in Dutch, the researchers measured the brain activity of 24 participants who listened to Dutch audiobook stories in a magnetoencephalography (MEG ...

It's difficult to know what birds 'think' when they fly, but scientists in are getting some remarkable new insights by looking inside birds' heads. Evolutionary biologists and neuroscience researchers ...
