Recent technological and scientific advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, which is in turn ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...

The long-held belief that brain structure is fixed early in life has largely given way to the well-established concept of neuroplasticity—the idea that brain structure and function continue to change ...

Scientists are learning how the brain knows what’s happening throughout the body, and how that process might go awry in some psychiatric disorders. By Carl Zimmer Last year, Ardem Patapoutian got a ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...
