White matter pathways allow distant parts of the brain to communicate, supporting memory, emotion, and language. One such ...

When a magnet is heated up, it reaches a critical point where it loses magnetization. Called "criticality," this point of high complexity is reached when a physical object is transitioning smoothly ...

The uncinate fasciculus is a major white matter pathway involved in memory, emotion, and language, but its microscopic ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that clusters of brain tissue derived from the cells of patients ...

Forget crowd sizes — a new study confirms that conservatives boast slightly larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that plays a key role in identifying and reacting to potential threats, compared ...

Researcher have developed a "Shallow Brain" AI model that mimics the connections between the cortex and subcortical regions, ...

The human brain is a marvel of complexity. It contains specialised and interconnected structures controlling our thoughts, personality and behaviour. The size and shape of our brains also play a ...

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have uncovered surprising geometric structures within large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. These findings offer a new perspective on how these ...

The largest neuroimaging study of conduct disorder to date has revealed extensive changes in brain structure among young people with the disorder. The largest difference was a smaller area of the ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...
