Your brain is more superficial than we thought. Scientists from the University of Monash in Melbourne, Australia, have found that the shape of your brain could strongly influence how you think, feel ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified thousands of genes linked to brain structure that shine a light on how our genetic makeup shapes the development of the brain, according to research published in Nature ...

The human brain remains one of the most complex and least understood organs, but recent breakthroughs in genetic research have unveiled startling insights into how genes shape brain structure and ...

Now, a study led by from researchers at Monash University's Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health has examined more than 10,000 different maps of human brain activity and found that the overall ...

Scientists have determined that how the brain shape changes with age could indicate early signs of dementia. Experts are finding that the best way to understand how the brain ages is not by examining ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

The way the brain’s shape changes as it ages could help to paint the picture of its overall health and offer early warning signs for dementia—years before typical symptoms emerge. Brain scan analysis ...

Though much about the brain remains a mystery, scientists have long surmised that our thoughts, feelings and behavior are the result of billions of interconnected neurons that transmit signals to each ...
