Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

Memory is so much more than a storage unit in our minds. The people involved in memories influence what we recall and, as our study shows, the connections we make between memories. Our memory helps us ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

Researchers have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to protein buildup, a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease, an incurable, ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

A new study suggests that a little-known region deep in the brain could be crucial for preserving physical strength as we age ...

Connectomics, a rapidly evolving field in neuroscience, is transforming our understanding of the brain’s intricate network of neural connections. By mapping these complex pathways, scientists aim to ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new—and important or just "background noise." Led by researchers ...

New brain imaging research shows grip strength is linked to activity deep in the aging brain, offering clues to early ...
