In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

Ever wonder why some fears hit us harder than others? This video dives into how genetics and brain wiring shape the phobias ...

People whose brains age faster than they do are more likely to develop dementia later in life, according to a new study by UCSF researchers.

SEATTLE, WASH. — DECEMBER 23, 2025 — Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet ...

A newly discovered mechanism that protects nerve cells could have important implications for understanding and treating ...

Toronto, February 9, 2026 – Learning to read reshapes how the brain processes language. New research from Baycrest and the University of São Paulo shows that learning to read fundamentally changes how ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

New research has charted the major developmental stages in the brain’s wiring—from early-life pruning to late-life network breakdown—offering a new roadmap for how our brains evolve. Colored diffusion ...
