Researchers using high-resolution brain scans are finding that when hearing starts to slip, the brain does not simply “turn ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

A new light-based imaging approach has produced an unprecedented chemical map of the Alzheimer’s brain. Rice University researchers have produced what they describe as the first full, label-free ...

The human voice represents one of our most complex biological achievements—a sophisticated interplay between brain, nerves, muscles, and breath that produces the nuanced sounds of human speech. As ...

Where fat hides in the body is emerging as a powerful predictor of how quickly the brain ages. New imaging research links ...
