The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

The brain and vagus nerve play a key role in exacerbating tissue damage after a heart attack, but there are ways to block it.

“By the time we examine an autopsied brain-tissue sample, a pathologist will have rinsed it with alcohol, removing lipids,” said Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, the D. H. Chen Professor II, a professor of ...

The data were collected from people about to have surgery. They show that as anaesthesia takes hold, the interplay between ...

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Using a noninvasive brain scanning ...

The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a chance to refuel. In everyday life, we learn to link cues we sense with what ...
