Whether you had COVID-19 or just stressed out about getting it, your brain’s hippocampus may have shrunk in the last few months.
Machine-learning algorithms can tell male from female brains. New research shows they might just be noticing that men have larger heads.
Attempts to find brain structures responsible for supposed cognitive sex differences have not succeeded.
Some viruses can hide out in the body and reemerge at later times. Which viruses do this, and can the new coronavirus do this too?
Medical treatments involving neurostimulation are resurfacing and appear to be more effective than drugs in treating depression.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a crippling, progressive neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure. Now it seems that a diabetes drug may help some cases.
A bioengineer explains how a clearer picture of brain structure and function may fine-tune the ways brain surgery attempts to correct structure and medication tries to correct function.
False beliefs about the brain, called neuromyths, are ubiquitous in education. Is there any hope of debunking them?
Air traffic controllers have to process and manage large amounts of information to get airplanes to their destinations. The brain manages the incessant traffic of neurons in a similar fashion.
Minocycline, a type of antibiotic, has had promising results in treating depression in both animals and humans.
Brains recognize a smell based on which cells fire, in what order – the same way you recognize a song based on its pattern of notes. How much can you change the ‘tune’ and still know the smell?
