Researchers at CU Anschutz are studying the effect of psychedelic mushrooms on patients with treatment-resistant depression.

As a result, there are physical differences in the brain of a person diagnosed with schizophrenia compared with people without schizophrenia. Disruptions to genes linked to brain health and ...

Your brain constantly juggles sensory information to make split-second decisions, but how? A new latent circuit model ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures, the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen—like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers at Northwestern Medicine discovered that the brain regions used for ...

Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) at UCL have unveiled the precise brain mechanisms that enable animals to ...

Researchers believe a combination of factors set off chemical and structural changes in the brain. Ultimately, these changes lead to schizophrenia. Those same factors may influence when or how ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...
