Findings from a novel study in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, published by Elsevier, suggest that using a specialized diffusion weighted MRI scan to monitor the ...

The human brain can concurrently support a wide range of advanced mental functions, including attention, memory and the processing of sensory stimuli. While past neuroscience studies have gathered ...

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

For the first time, University of Chicago researchers, using a newly developed technique, report that a molecular mechanism involved in formation of limbs and other body structures is also used to ...

The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers assess the impact of restricted language access among children on the organization of the adult brain in ...
