Proton therapy and image-guided precision have improved outcomes for primary brain tumor patients by minimizing toxicity and enhancing targeting accuracy. Multidisciplinary collaboration, involving ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...

Chin-Yi Chen, a research scientist at Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, works in assistant professor Fred Wu’s lab to develop a technique that uses focused ultrasound to deliver ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal ...

Neuroscientists seek to understand how the many interactive scales of brain architecture—from molecules to synapses and neurons—give rise to animal cognition and behavior. Since the days of Ramón y ...

The brain is more mechanically connected to the body than previously appreciated, scientists report in Nature Neuroscience. Through a study using mice and simulations, the team found a potential ...

Scientists have long struggled to define brain fog—let alone pinpoint a cause for it. But research is starting to reveal multiple potential causes from inflammation to a leaky blood-brain barrier.

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, ...

A large international team of micro-engineers, medical technologists, and neurosurgeons, has designed, built and tested a new type of probe that can be used to take pictures from inside arteries in ...

The conversation on brain health has been growing in recent years, and 2024 was no exception. This year brought significant highlights, including increased investment in brain capital (also known as ...

The term "brain rot" refers to how low-quality internet content may slow your brain function. It's usually tied to watching specific types of content, usually nonsensical, embarrassing, or weird. But ...
