Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map of a fly's brain, and it's probably one of the coolest things that you'll see this year. While it might not be a map of the human brain ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study ...

One seahorse-shaped hippocampus sits deep within each hemisphere of the mammalian brain. In each hippocampus’s CA3 area, humans have about 1.7 million nerve cells called pyramidal cells.

Brain growth slowed down about 300,000 years ago due to energetic and climate pressures, according to a study published in ...

The size and structure of our brains go a long way to explaining what makes us human. But what caused our brains to become what they are? Some UC San Diego researchers have pin-pointed a part of our ...

The human brain is so complex that scientific brains have a hard time making sense of it. A piece of neural tissue the size of a grain of sand might be packed with hundreds of thousands of cells ...

Representation of locomotive action affordances in human behavior, brains, and deep neural networks. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2025; 122 (24) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2414005122 ...

The human brain is about 60% fat by weight, far more than any other organ. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3s, are key to the strength and performance of the brain’s cells.
