By studying mice throughout their lives, scientists revealed that a network of neurons in the hippocampus starts out dense ...

The brain’s memory center may begin life more like a crowded web than an empty canvas. Researchers discovered that early neural networks in the hippocampus are dense and seemingly random, then become ...

A new study from Austrian researchers suggests the brain begins life with an overly dense and disorganised network of ...

Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete.

If you scroll through TikTok or Instagram long enough, you’ll inevitably stumble across the line: “Your frontal lobe isn’t fully developed yet.” It’s become neuroscience’s go-to explanation for bad ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Placebo pain mapped: UC San Diego scientists identified a brain circuit in mice where expectation triggers opioid release to relieve pain, offering clues for human therapies. Core-brain link: Penn ...

Soft electrodes designed to perfectly match a person's brain surface may help advance neural interfaces for neurodegenerative disease monitoring and treatment, according to a new study led by Penn ...
