Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

For more than a decade, there’s been growing proof that adult humans can form new neurons in the hippocampus, but scientists were still missing evidence of a missing link known as “neural progenitor ...

Human brain cells, classified into different groups according to gene expression (each color represents a group), are mapped back to their original locations in the human brain. A detailed analysis of ...

Psychopaths have a 10% larger striatum than non-psychopaths, suggesting biological differences in brain structure. This enlargement is tied to impulsivity and a higher craving for stimulation. The ...

The largest study yet into the effects of cannabis on the brains of 18- to 36-year-olds has found that the drug can reduce brain function during cognitive tests. The findings will help people to make ...

In common marmosets, the brain regions that process social interactions develop very slowly, extending until early adulthood, like in humans. During this time, all group members are involved in ...

A brain chemical called SGK1 may explain why childhood trauma increases depression risk. Blocking it could lead to better antidepressants. Neuroscientists from Columbia University and McGill Universit ...

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...
