By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. New hyperscanning research reveals that when bilingual mothers and children play together, their brains align just as strongly in a second language as in their native tongue, ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

In a recent study published in PNAS Nexus, researchers provide new insights into human cognition by prioritizing interpretability in predictive modeling of intelligence from brain connectivity, rather ...

Brain connectivity was then assessed both between and within networks, including 13 cortical networks and three subcortical regions: the amygdala -- responsible for processing emotions and triggering ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the processing of sensory information, the encoding of memories, attention ...

Certain cells in the brain create a nurturing environment, enhancing the health and resilience of their neighbors, while others promote stress and damage. Using spatial transcriptomics and AI, ...

The human body relies on complex and coordinated interactions between the brain and peripheral organ systems to maintain a stable biological environment and support essential functions like behavior ...

Male and female brains begin developing differently in the womb. Here's how genetics, hormones, and prenatal biology shape brain structure, behaviour, and mental health outcomes before birth.
