Tiny, shallow grooves on the surface of the brain may provide new insight into how aging and Alzheimer’s disease affect brain structure and cognitive function. A new study published in The Journal of ...

The Krakencoder combines brain structure and function data to predict cognitive performance, offering new insights into brain ... Mapping how the brain’s anatomical connections and activity patterns ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published ...

The first 3D map of mitochondria in the human brain has been created, revealing how brain energy influences cognitive aging.

Subsequently, Misic, Hansen and the rest of their team mapped patterns of brainstem connectivity to cognitive atlases (i.e., existing knowledge about the mental functions of specific brain regions).

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.

Scientists from MIT used movies to better understand how the brain works to recognize faces, process conversations and perform more complex cognitive functions. For the study, researchers used ...

Cognitive decline in older adults refers to the concern of or difficulty with a person’s thinking, memory, concentration, and other brain functions beyond what is typically expected due to aging.

Learn how regular exercise improves memory, and enhances focus — plus the science behind how physical activity supports long-term cognitive function.
