The black box of the human brain is starting to open. Although animal models are instrumental in shaping our understanding of the mammalian brain, scarce human data is uncovering important ...

A new study suggests that people are more likely to consciously notice neutral spoken words than negative ones when ...

Researchers analysed five years of data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative and found a more rapid decline ...

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and permanent loss of nerve cells in the brain. The breakdown causes memory loss, ...

It's one of nature's greatest ironies: the human brain lacks the ability to grasp its own complexity. Indeed, the brain is complicated. The three-pound organ housed in our heads consists of roughly 86 ...

Direct and simultaneous recordings across the human brain during a memory encoding task involving emotionally valenced words revealed tightly clustered neuronal sites within the insular cortex with ...

A new study (Cardenas et al., 2026) suggests that just 20 minutes of moderate cardio may trigger brain activity tied to learning and memory. Researchers found that a single cycling session sparked ...

A Nature Metabolism study identifies brain hyperglycosylation as a metabolic driver of Alzheimer’s disease, with increased ...

Taking an omega-3 fatty acid supplement did not improve memory, cognitive function or brain cell loss for many people, a ...

Inspired by the human brain, researchers have developed a new light-sensitive device that combines sensing and memory while ...

In a new study, UC Berkeley researchers are investigating whether psilocybin can support healthy aging by boosting plasticity in the brains of older adults.
