Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...
Adolescence may be far more than a period of pruning away unused brain connections. New research suggests the teenage brain ...
Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...
New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...
The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...
Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic “hotspot” that forms during adolescence, challenging the long-held view that adolescent brain development was dominated ...
There's a surprising amount of code running before the OS even loads.
For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...
Why do we care about places we may never visit? Why do stories about wildlife, people and cultures stay with us long after we ...
