A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Dopamine in the brain influences movement, learning, motivation and sleep. In humans, problems with dopamine are linked to ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

In animal studies, keeping brain NAD + levels in balance prevented Alzheimer’s from developing. Even more striking, restoring NAD + balance after the disease was already advanced allowed the brain to ...
