Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

A new doctoral dissertation shows that gambling disorder is linked to brain networks involved in self-control and brain reward functions.

The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of ...

SAN DIEGO — Like fingerprints, human brains are unique. Scientists are working to map the variability of individual brains and to inform personalized therapeutics for treatment-resistant disease.

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...
