If you want to know more about how the human brain matures and changes over time, you can now consult the first comprehensive atlas that maps brain organization from infancy all the way through to ...

Scientists from Columbia University have found that the aging processes of the brain in humans and mice are similar in many ...

The human brain operates as a network of interconnected modules specialized for tasks that become less specialized as people age—a breakdown associated with memory loss and othe ...

By scanning the brains of mice throughout their lifespans, scientists at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute and the University of Texas at Dallas have discovered that the human brain is not unique in how ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. Now, a study ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

In recent years, breakthroughs in imaging have changed our ability to study the brain, providing a variety of modalities with varying resolution, penetration, and sensitivity. In neuropharmacology, ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...

“A central goal of neuroscience is to develop an understanding of the brain that ultimately describes the mechanistic basis of human cognition and behavior,” said Jeremy Herskowitz, Ph.D., associate ...
