This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

Learn more about the new study, which highlights the importance of analyzing brain structure and connectivity simultaneously.

Brain activity is structured in space and time. The resulting activity patterns are conventionally thought to depend on an intricate web of anatomical connections that link specialized populations of ...

When the Human Genome Project published the first draft of the human genome sequence in 2001, many researchers expected to be able to pinpoint protein alterations that would explain the distinctive ...

Cognitive deficits caused by malnutrition may be restored by interventions targeting the gut microbiome. However, direct imaging of the brain is still needed to understand those cognitive connections ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience offers insight into how small grooves in the brain’s surface — known as tertiary sulci — might help explain individual differences in reasoning ...

Rolls and colleagues (2017) describe their work on "effective connectivity" in analyzing brain activity in depressed patients. Effective connectivity goes beyond standard functional connectivity ...

Local high school students will test their knowledge of brain anatomy and function in the eighth annual WNY Brain Bee from 10 a.m. to noon Feb. 21 in Canisius College’s Science Hall, Main Street and ...
