Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

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

The brain constantly blends split-second reactions with slower, more thoughtful processing, and new research shows how it ...

The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.

The 'silent' X chromosome within female brains may not be so silent after all. A new study has found evidence in both mice and humans that as we age, 'sleeping' X chromosomes can be 'awakened' in ...

Murderbot, the titular character of a new television show on Apple TV+, doesn’t do much murdering. Instead it enjoys the freedom of having hacked its governor module, the internal control system that ...

As emotions rise and fall in everyday life, your brain keeps up, constantly adjusting. These transitions between feelings—like joy, sadness, or fear—aren’t just random reactions. They’re part of a ...
