A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

As we age, neuron production declines in the human brain, but scientists just identified the protein key to regenerating neural stem cells.

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic diseases. Although one of the two X chromosomes is ...

Study maps five major eras of brain wiring from birth to old age, revealing the key turning points that shape how we learn, ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.
