The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

A newly identified lymphatic drainage pathway along the middle meningeal artery reveals how the human brain clears waste. How does the brain clear away waste? This task is handled by the brain’s ...

While diet changes have long been credited for long-term health benefits, it's not often for brain health. A new UNC study ...

Sleep is a universal biological state that allows all animals, from mammals to amphibians, fish and even insects, to restore ...

Traditionally, explicit long-term memory (the intentional, conscious recollection of things and experiences) is divided into ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, according to researchers from the School ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, the findings could redefine how memory ...
