Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever ...

The brain is an organ made up of neural tissue and has three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. Each of these has a unique function.

A tiny region Locus Coeruleus located in your brainstem, acts like a powerful memory reset button. It's pivotal for forming distinct memories.

Abstract Background and Purpose— Because fibroblast growth factor 2 is a mitogen for central nervous system stem cells, we explored whether long-term fibroblast growth factor 2 delivery to the brain ...

Neuroscientists Map Cerebral Cortex Massachusetts Institute of Technology By analyzing brain scans taken as people watched movie clips, MIT researchers have created the most comprehensive map yet of ...

An emotional brain or limbic system that is responsible for our feelings flip-flops between negative emotions based on fears and positive emotions that come from reason. A prefrontal cortex that gives ...

Researchers identified a unique methylation pattern in brain stem cells that could offer a way to reprogram astrocytes to treat nerve damage.

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has ...

Stem spoke about the functions of the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex in the human brain and how they are involved in addiction. He explained that the limbic system is fully functional in ...

Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett explains and breaks down myths about the human brain.
