A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Fear memories can form in the brain following exposure to threatening situations such as natural disasters, accidents, or violence. When these memories become excessive or distorted, they can lead to ...

I feel guilty. I am exhausted and I feel guilty taking a siesta. But I am getting over myself—sometimes. Taking a break isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for building new neural pathways. The brain ...

The brain learns through repeated exposure. Each revisit strengthens the signal between neurons, making recall faster and ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

That meticulously organized calendar might be doing far more than just organizing your day. Beyond the obvious productivity benefits, time blocking could actually be changing your brain’s physical ...
