A new study found that the sea anemone, a member of the Cnidarian phylum, uses bilaterian-like techniques to form its body.

HOLLYOAKS actor Craig Russell says he “nearly died” due to a lime-sized brain tumour that grew undetected for more than a ...

A new study highlights how physical activity doesn’t just help your body but also protects your brain from cognitive decline, memory loss, and dementia as you age.

A new meta-analysis suggests that people with major depressive disorder have lower levels of the brain antioxidant ...

The brain is a unique place. It is shielded from much of the body by the blood-brain barrier, meaning it’s protected from pathogens and potentially dangerous substances that might be in our blood. And ...

Your brain accounts for only about 2% of your body weight, but it uses roughly 20% of your body’s total energy. Even when you’re sleeping, your brain is burning tons of energy just to keep all ...

Gamma knife ablation, meanwhile, uses radiation beams to destroy tissue. Another technique, focused ultrasound, heats parts of the brain using soundwaves.

From a cubic millimeter of tissue, scientists constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue.
