Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy.

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

It's a myth that we use only 10% of our brains. However, you're not alone in buying into this. A survey done about 10 years ago found that almost two-thirds of Americans shared this misconception.

Brain network changes: Meditation during the retreat reduced activity in parts of the brain associated with mental chatter, making brain function more efficient overall. Enhanced neuroplasticity: When ...

Declining brain function is a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be delayed. A new study has found that physical activity can boost brain function for up to 24 hours and ...

The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...

The results of research in mice suggest that a type of drug developed for treating cancer may hold promise as a new treatment for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The ...

Now why would someone throw paint all over a perfectly good human brain? The good news is that this isn’t a paint splattered brain, but the colors are meaningful. This is a functional magnetic ...

You've probably heard blueberries called a superfood, but the latest research reveals just how remarkable they truly are for brain health. Consumption of wild blueberries for six months improves ...
