A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing ...

Brain freeze — the sharp, seconds-long headache we get from ingesting something cold — is rooted in the way our brain senses ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

The University of Texas at Dallas is bringing back its BrainHealth Week for a fourth year. The conference will run from Feb.

With a four-year, $2.7M NIH grant, Hopkins researchers are developing an AI-powered imaging system that can capture brain activity 20 to 50 times faster than current tools ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during childhood, settled into a stable form in early ...

Researchers have identified two brain receptors that help the brain clear away amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s ...

"The brain circuitry involved in these decisions is well conserved between mice and humans, so there are likely useful parallels to be drawn," he added. To explore how dominance and social rank form, ...

October saw several universities launch major initiatives in brain science and neurological research, often with the help of new private gifts to underwrite their efforts. Here are summaries of the ...

A study published in the journal Science Advances details a promising, new avenue toward improving awake brain mapping results by investigating the tiny, nearly imperceptible variabilities in patient ...
