The subtleties involved here reflect the fact that the brain’s dizzying complexity means it’s rarely possible to draw simple conclusions. Even in this case, where a basic interpretation might be that ...

Mathematicians are investigating how the intricate folds in the human brain – which have increased as our species has evolved – help to improve our brainpower. The team at Nottingham Trent ...

How a person's brain grows and makes connections can determine intelligence as well as susceptibility to disorders such as ...

While this achievement was impressive, Reiner was not convinced that the wrinkles in the organoids were really modeling the folds in a developing brain. So the group grew new organoids, this time ...

This study is the first to measure patterns of brain degeneration in CTE, and shows that repetitive head impacts are linked to loss of cells, shrinkage, and tau pathology buildup within the folds ...

Neurons move backward to refine their positions in the brain after birth, reshaping the six-layered neocortex responsible for ...
