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

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region. Previous research has ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

The brain’s wiring forms a unique fingerprint that reveals how we think, remember, and make decisions. A new study offers the ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Diesel exhaust particles can disturb the function of human brain immune cells, known as microglia, according to a recent study led by the University of Eastern Finland. The findings, published in ...
