Beneath the human brain's bulging cerebral cortex, smaller structures toil in relative obscurity. Subcortical areas, also known as the 'deep brain,' play key roles in functions like attention, emotion ...

So, there are a lot of unknowns (no doubt fueling partisan bickering), but we do know an incredible amount about the brain and how it develops (and, shall we say, unravels) throughout life.

BURLINGTON — At the start of October, scientists completed accurately mapping the entire brain of a fruit fly, along with releasing stunning, multi-colored graphics of its neural networks. This leap ...

A human brain on a chip sounds like something from a science fiction film, a gadget powering its cyborg villain. But chemical and biological engineer Dr. Raquel Rodrigues at the International ...
