Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

A landmark international study that pooled brain scans and memory tests from thousands of adults has shed new light on how ...
