A gene called ZNRF3, known to be involved in cancer, also messes with the mind. The human brain relies on two copies of this ...

They also show that small regions of the brain can momentarily "flicker" awake while the rest of the brain remains asleep, and vice versa from wake to sleep.

The research team looked for effects in very small parts of the brain network—such as connections between just two areas—and also at clusters of connections, widespread networks, and whole brains.

And in small amounts, alcohol may increase insulin sensitivity. But these don’t seem to fully explain the benefit. So a Boston-based team of cardiologists decided to look somewhere else: the brain.

Brain Images Just Got 64 Million Times Sharper MRI technology from Duke-led effort reveals the entire mouse brain in the highest resolution DURHAM, N.C. – Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is how we ...

Google helped make an exquisitely detailed map of a tiny piece of the human brain A small brain sample was sliced into 5,000 pieces, and machine learning helped stitch it back together.

Birds descended from the dinosaurs, but researchers have known relatively little about how the bird's brain took shape over millions of years. A new fossil sheds light on that mystery.

Working from a sliver of tissue no bigger than a grain of rice, researchers have built an astoundingly complex map of the human brain. The tiny fragment contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of ...

Participants were monitored with electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram instruments that recorded electrical activity in the brain and their heart rhythms.

And in small amounts, alcohol may increase insulin sensitivity. But these don’t seem to fully explain the benefit. So a Boston-based team of cardiologists decided to look somewhere else: the brain.
