The human brain is much more flexible than we ever thought. New studies have begun to suggest that, even in adulthood, the ...

The Brain Prize 2025 went to neuro-oncologists Michelle Monje and Frank Winkler for pioneering the field of cancer neuroscience. A few hours before he cuts a cancerous lump from the brain of one of ...

Brain tumors have long been treated as rogue invaders: growing, spreading, and resisting treatment on their own. But new ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

In the midst of our busy schedules, finding moments of silence can be a challenging task. However, a compelling body of scientific research now suggests that the act of sitting in silence for just two ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

One hypothesis for how autism develops is excessive neuron production in the prenatal period, leading to a transient but significant increase in brain size in the first few years of life in about ...

As we age, maintaining cognitive health becomes increasingly important. Genetics certainly play a role, but there’s no denying that lifestyle choices—especially when it comes to your diet—can ...

Brain cells grow faster in children with some forms of autism due to distinct changes in core cell signaling patterns, according to research from the laboratory of Anthony Wynshaw-Boris, MD, PhD, ...
