A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that neurons located in the wrong place can nevertheless ensure normal ...

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 ...

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy.

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region. Previous research has ...

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 ...

Experiencing three or more concussions is linked with worsened brain function in later life, according to major new research. The study -- the largest of its kind -- also found having just one ...

A few days ago, I wrote a blog post that explained how a split-brain model my father and I created in the early 2000s has evolved since then. In 2004, when Dad and I coined the term "up brain-down ...
