Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be the brain’s housekeepers, may actually be silent powerhouses of memory.

This diagram shows the pathways cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) takes as it flows from the brain’s surface through facial lymphatic vessels and into lymph nodes in the neck.

Whether you are a competitive athlete or an older adult, strong bones are essential—not only for movement, but also for ...

An in vitro model mimicking the in vivo environment of the brain must be developed to study neural communication ... constructed on a biochip by guiding and promoting neural stem/progenitor cell ...

This covers most of the inner area of the head. It has dark wavy lines on it showing the structure of the brain. The brain stem starts in the centre of the brain. It runs down the centre of the neck ...

If a tumor sits near the brain stem, it can cause balance problems. Tumbles and falls are a regular part of life for most toddlers. But severe or worsening balance problems in young children warrant a ...

Immediate improvement after treatment leads us to believe that the motor status occurs only due to compression of the brain stem and cerebellum, and that after normalization of the blood pressure by ...

The cranial nerves are a set of twelve pairs of nerves that travel to and from the brain. Each has a different function. For example, the olfactory nerve is essential for detecting smells.

Now, new evidence from brain imaging research shows that these flashes of insight aren't just satisfying - they actually reshape how your brain represents information, and help sear it into memory.

For the brain to dedicate itself to tasks that need attention, or to respond to unexpected stimuli like a fire alarm, it needs to be able to rewire itself by changing how brain cells communicate.
