Menopause reshapes the brain in surprising ways — but it may also reveal the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt.

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

Psychotherapy leads to measurable changes in brain structure. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Münster have demonstrated this for the first time in ...

A new study shows that a second pregnancy uniquely alters the brain, focusing on attention and sensory networks to help mothers care for multiple children.

Male and female brains begin developing differently in the womb. Here's how genetics, hormones, and prenatal biology shape brain structure, behaviour, and mental health outcomes before birth.
