A study of nearly 2,000 children found that those who reported playing video games for three hours per day or more performed better on cognitive skills tests involving impulse control and working memory compared to children who had never played video g…

Medical researchers have identified a new type of microglia associated with stroke in the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injured brain.

Scientists have successfully placed a bioinspired steerable catheter into the brain of an animal.

Scientists have identified a long-sought gene-encoded protein that enables the brain to communicate a broad range of signals across gaps between neurons, known as synapses.

In response to a high-competition environment, Trinidadian killifish evolve larger brains, increasing their fitness and survival rates, according to a new study.

A recent study sought to identify FTD patients with TDP-43 accumulation from a large patient cohort, which included all of the most common subtypes of the disease. TDP-43 levels were measured from patients’ blood samples using a sensitive single-molecu…

Neuroengineers were able to map the locations and activity of up to 1 million potential synaptic links in a living brain thanks to a new 3D electrode array that records the split-second evolution of electrical pulses in tens of thousands of neurons in …

A team measured how levels of various proteins in brain cells change in response to brain activity.

A team of scientists has developed the first computer model predicting the role of cortical glial cells in cognition.

In a series of experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity across networks in the brain, researchers looked at how stress might increase appetite in obese and lean adults.
