Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...

A recent brain imaging study reveals that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder consists of at least two distinct physical subtypes. This discovery suggests that patients may eventually benefit ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical maps divide the brain into regions according to structural variations in the ...

The anatomy of your brain reflects your introspective capacity, or ability to self-judge the merits of your decisions, new research indicates. The study found that people with stronger reflective, or ...

Differences in behavior among people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are closely related to differences in neuroanatomy – the shape of a brain – a team of Boston College neuroscientists report ...

The human brain is an impressive example of biological engineering, and at the top is its largest part: the cerebrum. Making up about 85% of the brain's weight. It controls everything that makes you ...

As I concluded my previous post [Sexing the brain (function, anatomy, and structure)], I felt fairly safe in saying that there are no sex differences in lateralization for perceptual asymmetries as ...
