A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha ...

Your brain is more superficial than we thought. Scientists from the University of Monash in Melbourne, Australia, have found that the shape of your brain could strongly influence how you think, feel ...

Dog breeders have been shaping the way the animals look and behave for centuries. That meddling in canine evolution has sculpted dogs’ brains, too. A brain-scanning study of 62 purebred dogs ...

Emerging research indicates that subtle shifts in brain geometry, beyond just size, may signal future cognitive decline. A study found that changes in how brain regions expand and contract correlate ...

Researchers have identified thousands of genes linked to brain structure that shine a light on how our genetic makeup shapes the development of the brain, according to research published in Nature ...

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

Researchers have identified 76 overlapping genetic locations that shape both our face and our brain. What the researchers didn't find is evidence that this genetic overlap also predicts someone's ...

Now, a study led by from researchers at Monash University's Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health has examined more than 10,000 different maps of human brain activity and found that the overall ...

For more than a century, scientists have treated the brain as the undisputed command center of human evolution, with the rest ...

Though much about the brain remains a mystery, scientists have long surmised that our thoughts, feelings and behavior are the result of billions of interconnected neurons that transmit signals to each ...
