New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

To build a representation of the external world, and give it a coherent sense, our brain needs to process and integrate information coming from all our senses, including vision and hearing. But ...

The connections between the structure of the brain and its function are a key focus of neuroscience. A new Medical University of Vienna study involving a team of international partners has been ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

Researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, along with a team from the ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

A new study has investigated the genetics that underlie brain structure. With more than 36,000 brain scans and a wealth of human genetic data, scientists identified over 4,000 genetic variants that ...

Charlie is thirteen. He has Williams syndrome (WS). When either his mother's egg or his father's sperm were forming, about 20 genes were dropped from chromosome seven. Those 20 might not seem like ...
