Charts mapped the maturation of brain networks from birth to age six and identified key transitions in how regions of the brain interact. Deviations from these developmental patterns were ...

These milestones include improved vision, sensory, language, and executive functions. Although brain structural developmental characteristics starting from birth and extending to toddlerhood have been ...

Different brain regions are connected by—and interact through—networks of neurons. But the extent to which neuronal wiring drives shared function between these different regions is not well ...

These incredible graphics show in detail how each part of the brain contributes to the functions and abilities that make us all uniquely human. However, not all scientists think it can be that simple.

The hypothalamus is a small but crucial part of the brain. It controls functions such as sleep and growth. View a 3-D diagram and learn about related conditions.

“This means these cells are readily available for intervention,” said Horvath. “Perhaps they can be exploited to alter disorders of higher brain regions.” The study also adds to a growing body of ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used functional MRI scans to track which brain regions activated when 176 young adults watched scenes from "The Social Network," "Home ...

Finally, the team conducted tests targeted at the medial preoptic area, another brain region of the hypothalamus that’s closely associated with parental care.

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

Research finds handwriting activates key brain regions for memory and learning, suggesting schools should balance traditional and digital practices. Study: Handwriting but not typewriting leads to ...

A study has created brain functional growth charts from MRI scans of 1,091 children, showing how different brain networks mature from birth to age 6. This research offers a valuable tool for tracking ...

Different brain regions are connected by—and interact through—networks of neurons. But the extent to which neuronal wiring drives shared function between these different regions is not well ...
