It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

The connections between the structure of the brain and its function are a key focus of neuroscience. A new Medical University of Vienna study involving a team of international partners has been ...

Researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, along with a team from the ...

The brain changes as we age – but a new study pinpoints exactly when those shifts occur. Our brain structure moves through five distinct phases marked by four turning points, at ages nine, 32, 66, and ...

Charlie is thirteen. He has Williams syndrome (WS). When either his mother's egg or his father's sperm were forming, about 20 genes were dropped from chromosome seven. Those 20 might not seem like ...
