A genetic analysis of the nuclei also showed that superager neural cells have increased gene activity linked to stronger synaptic connections, greater plasticity, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

In other words, get ready to grab your binoculars, says a group of brain researchers in Canada.

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there? While occasional forgetfulness is normal, your everyday choices—including what you eat in the morning—can play a powerful role in sharpening ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

The difference between the brain's predicted age and actual chronological age, called a brain age gap, may influence the relationship between cognitive impairment risk factors, like high blood ...

Recent advancements in neurotechnology have led to the development of brain implants that can significantly enhance memory recall. Through a series of groundbreaking trials, researchers are exploring ...

A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from ...
