A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

A large-scale study of proteins in blood and cerebrospinal fluid could pave the way for improved blood tests to diagnose multiple brain diseases — and potential early warning signs of disease risk — ...

Results also indicate how these genetics might affect a person’s biology to increase their risk of different mental ...

This color-coded graphic shows different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted by one of the genetic tools developed by scientists at the Allen Institute and other institutions.

Lissencephaly is a spectrum of rare, genetic disorders in which the brain fails to develop its hallmark folds. The disorders are often associated with seizures and intellectual disability and ...

Researchers analyzed data from 857 patients across 36 fMRI brain imaging studies and mapped a common brain circuit for creativity. A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that ...

"Our work is the first attempt to get a layout of different areas and networks of the brain during naturalistic conditions," says first author and neuroscientist Reza Rajimehr of Massachusetts ...

The findings of this study could eventually improve how mental health conditions are diagnosed and treated, especially for ...

A growing understanding of how “reproductive” hormones sculpt the brain could transform the management of neurological conditions. Credit...Yuko Shimizu Supported by By Rachel E. Gross Estrogen is the ...

Your brain doesn't have to age on autopilot. New research shows we can slow—and potentially reverse—brain aging.

The brain is like an ecosystem—thousands of different types of cells connect to form one big, interdependent web. And just as biologists document species of plants and animals, neuroscientists have ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...
