Brain scientists have long debated when, and how strongly, sex starts to shape the human brain. A growing body of imaging ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For ...

"This is the first study to directly link senescence-related molecular networks in living human brain tissue to measurable differences in brain structure within the same individuals," said Noam ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

Fear has a scent. Here’s how this invisible chemical signal has shaped human perceptions, emotions and survival instincts.

My previous post, "Sexing the Brain (Early Days)" considered the early approach to consider sex differences in terms of perceptual asymmetries. That post ended on McGlone’s (1980) conclusion that men ...

Understanding brain structure is a central challenge in neuroscience. Although brain structure changes throughout life and is linked to both aging and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's ...
