The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

"This response evolved to help us cope with new challenges and can help us form stronger memories in order to deal with these ...

The human brain, despite representing only about 2% of total body weight, consumes approximately 20% of the body’s energy resources. This metabolic intensity makes the brain particularly responsive to ...

There is debate about when white matter was first identified and named. Now known as glia, which Koob (2009) points out is the Greek word for glue, some research indicates that Rudolf Virchow, a ...

While we've known for some time that obesity affects the brain, scientists have found that, more importantly, it's where you carry it that matters. And it's the deep visceral fat around organs that ...

Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting ...
