New research into the health effects of spaceflight has shown astronauts' brains change position and shape over time. Following spaceflight, the brain shifts "upward and backward within the skull", ...

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to their neurotypical counterparts. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition ...

Scientists who study the brain have long tried to unlock the neural mysteries of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat. The scientists began ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...

Newly discovered live recordings of one of punk rock's most influential bands get their release Friday —45 years after they were captured at a D.C. nightclub. Bad Brains, hardcore punk pioneers with a ...
