Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

A UK Biobank suggests hormone replacement therapy may offer only limited protection for mental health and cognition in ...

Among all the fat profiles identified, the “pancreatic-predominant” and “skinny fat” patterns were most strongly associated ...

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the formation of complex glycans essential for normal brain function. These ...

Forget crowd sizes — a new study confirms that conservatives boast slightly larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that plays a key role in identifying and reacting to potential threats, compared ...

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere). They can also ...
