Structural changes in the brain’s outer layer can be detected years before amyloid-beta proteins reach high levels on brain ...

Why do human brains vary in size and shape, and how did our brains expand over evolutionary time to give us our enhanced ...

Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) variability reflects meaningful brain activity, yet its structural and biological correlates during early development remain unknown. Using longitudinal ...

Scientists discovered that brain-cell axons may not be smooth tubes as textbooks have shown for more than a century, but instead naturally resemble strings of tiny pearls. Those pearl-like structures ...

For most of human history, the skull has had one obvious job: protect the brain. A new study suggests it may also have another role: researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St.

Researchers studying 353 cognitively unimpaired adults aged 60 to 94 found that higher muscular capacity was associated with lower basal ganglia perivascular space volume, while greater aerobic ...

Puberty, pregnancy and menopause can feel like completely separate chapters of life. But each involves major hormonal shifts, and scientists have now compared what happens to the brain across all ...

Brain MRI found structural differences in people with severe asthma. Read more about the findings and their limits.

The human brain is a marvel of complexity. It contains specialised and interconnected structures controlling our thoughts, personality and behaviour. The size and shape of our brains also play a ...

A newly detailed brain region acts as a continuous alarm system during a threat. By sustaining fear responses long after ...

The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes ...

MRI research links severe Type 2 asthma with differences in brain structure and white matter associated with inflammation ...
