This is a summary of a story published by the Duke School of Medicine. Duke researcher Debra Silver is convinced that to get meaningful answers about the brain, she needs to come at it in three ...

Characteristics of brain complex structure, classification of biomanufacturing methods, key points of functional reconstruction, and application prospects. Brain, the material foundation of human ...

Convergent evidence has suggested that the disruption of either structural connectivity (SC) or functional connectivity (FC) in the brain can lead to various neuropsychiatric disorders. Since changes ...

The field of neuroscience is making incredible strides, with researchers now able to replicate the brain's intricate networks using 3D bioprinting. This groundbreaking technique allows scientists to ...

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes ...

Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just mood—it’s biology. Scientists found that the thalamus doesn’t just relay ...

Your brain is wrinkled like a walnut, and those wrinkles aren't just for show. Each fold increases the amount of surface area your brain can pack into your skull, allowing millions more neurons to ...

A study of nearly 10,000 adolescents has identified distinct differences in the brain structures of those who used substances before age 15 compared to those who did not. Many of these structural ...

A representative MRI tractography image of the first era of the human brain. This image is representative of the general pattern seen across the brains in the study during the first era of neural ...

Gonadal hormone receptors are widely distributed across the brain, yet their influence on brain structure remains understudied. Here, using precision imaging, we examined four females, including one ...
