Unfinished tasks occupy your brain differently than completed ones. Discover why "done" matters more than "perfect"—and how ...

After traumatic brain injury (TBI), some patients may recover completely, while others retain severe disabilities. Accurately ...

The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...

Language is more strongly controlled by the left half of the brain, while other functions are more strongly controlled by the ...

Human brains are built to grow for years, yet for some children that growth is cut short, leaving them with smaller heads, developmental delays and lifelong disability. Scientists are now closing in ...

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing.

Background Fermented foods are a promising yet underexplored intervention for influencing brain function and mental health through the gut–brain axis. Objective The objective of this study was to ...

The Bioluminescence Hub at Brown, a collaborative team of neuroscientists from around the U.S., found a way to harness light ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

Microscopic fibers secretly shape how every organ in the body works, yet they’ve been notoriously hard to study—until now. A new imaging technique called ComSLI reveals hidden fiber orientations in ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a schematic and more like living tissue. Instead of treating neurons as ...

From analog hobbies to tech curfews, these Gen Zers are experimenting with science-backed ways to help their brains feel a little less foggy. Doomscrolling has taken over our screen time, and ...
