UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

A global team leveraged one of the world’s fastest supercomputers to create the most detailed digital simulation of a mouse cortex ever produced.

In a new study, scientists explored the links between three measures known to independently predict healthy aging: nutrient intake, brain structure and cognitive function. Their analysis adds to the ...

Now, a growing body of scientific evidence shows hundreds of genes act differently in the brains of biologically male or ...

Omega-3 fatty acid concentrations in red blood cells were linked with brain structure and cognitive function in midlife, an exploratory cross-sectional study showed. In about 2,200 people with an ...

Initiating tobacco use during childhood was associated with inferior cognitive function and reduced brain structure, researchers reported in JAMA Network Open. Hongying Daisy Dai, PhD, associate dean ...
