New research reveals how physical activity may directly preserve brain structure and support memory function as you age.

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a group of researchers assessed whether dendritic spine head diameter in the temporal cortex is a better predictor of episodic memory performance in ...

We’re a long way from reviving a frozen human, but new research yields insight.

A new study suggest that brief exercise, such as 20 minutes of moderate cycling, can boost brain activity, which may help to ...

Long working hours may alter the structure of the brain, particularly the areas associated with emotional regulation and executive function, such as working memory and problem solving, suggest the ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...

Changes to one's hippocampus, the brain's memory centre, in response to prolonged pain could be an important factor for why ...

The extreme mental and physical fatigue brought on by long COVID may be a result of structural changes in the brain, new research suggests. These observable changes not only promise to improve the ...

The study, published in the journal Science, analysed brain scans from population cohorts, including data from the UK Biobank ...
