A bold new mathematical framework proposes that the brain’s shifting electrical activity can be described the way physicists describe evolving quantum states — not because the brain is quantum ...

As anyone reading this probably knows, the Bad Brains were one of the most important punk-rock bands of all time, Washington D.C.-bred pioneers of the sound that became hardcore. While they were a ...

Late last week, we started seeing headlines about how new research was suggesting we might have two brains instead of the one that seems to show up on MRI scans. As is so often the case, these rumors ...

The discovery could help scientists advance research into conditions including Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, and spinal muscular atrophy Getty Scientists at ...

(CN) — For decades, scientists thought the entire brain started from the same type of progenitor cell. But in findings published Friday in Nature Neuroscience, researchers say the brain’s front and ...

A side view of a "xenocortical" mouse brain, with the grafted human tissue seen in green and red. S. Pașca Lab / Stanford University In a research lab in California, mice that look ordinary on the ...

Miniature lab-grown brains, called brain organoids, open little windows into human neurodevelopment that are impossible to get by studying actual human brains. But without a blood supply or sensory ...

They are moving too fast for the normal mind to keep up, but elite drivers have more densely packed brain cells where it counts and use their minds more efficiently. By Erik Vance Imagine two athletes ...

Research psychologist Robert Epstein believes that the brain may function as a transducer connected to the “Other Side,” from which we receive information that shapes our consciousness. This neural ...

People who speak several languages may have brains that age more slowly, with four-language speakers showing brains that appeared about 13 years younger than those of monolinguals. Starting earlier ...

I’ve liked the Framework Laptop 13 since the first time I used it, partly because I just think the idea of a repairable and upgradeable laptop is cool and partly because it’s not Yet Another ...

Some brains appear to fight back against Alzheimer's by helping immature brain cells survive damage instead of succumbing to it. Understanding this natural resilience could point researchers toward ...
