The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Adrian Wanner is working to understand how neurons are connected in the brain – a challenge that demands new imaging methods like X-ray ptychography. “The brain is one of the most complex biological ...

The images display colour-coded signals from the ATP sensor expressed by the mice’s nerve cells. The sequence (from top left to bottom right) shows the drop in ATP levels during a spreading ...

A research team from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has achieved a breakthrough in brain imaging by developing the world's first technology to ...

Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region that processes touch. By using ultra-high-resolution brain scans, they ...
