Scientists have long struggled to define brain fog—let alone pinpoint a cause for it. But research is starting to reveal multiple potential causes from inflammation to a leaky blood-brain barrier.

It’s never too early or too late to start, but time is of the essence when it comes to building your brain’s defenses, especially since it’s generally impossible to reverse brain damage once ...

These cells share important molecular and functional characteristics with neural stem cells of the brain. Peripheral neural stem cells have the same cell morphology, self-renewal and differentiation ...

Heavy drinking is associated with increased risk of a type of brain injury linked with memory and thinking problems. That’s according to a new study in which researchers defined heavy drinking ...

Having just over one glass of wine every night can put you at a higher risk of developing a disturbing brain condition, a new study has revealed. Researchers from the University of Sao Paulo ...

The Nubbin, an alleged brain chip allowing users to relive memories, is actually a marketing ploy for Black Mirror's upcoming season. The internet is buzzing over a mysterious new piece of tech ca ...

When we “see” a combination of blue and red wavelengths, the brain bends the visual spectrum into a circle that joins blue and red at the point of purple. You might be today years old when you ...

Allen Institute researchers Leila Elabbady and Clay Reid examine brain mapping data from the MICrONS project. (Allen Institute Photo) Researchers say they’ve accomplished a feat that was said to ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with ...

The largest and most comprehensive 3D map of a mammalian brain to date offers an unprecedented insight into how neurons connect and function. The new map, which captures a cubic millimetre of a ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement ...
