A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney. A colorized computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain revealing blood ...

Predicting how molecular changes affect the brain's overall activity is a major challenge in neuroscience. Many deep questions about the brain can only be understood by looking at several layers of ...

Gamma brain waves are rhythmic electric processes in nerve cells called neurons. Nerve activity in the brain allows for communication throughout the brain to carry out functions such as memory, ...

A study of 2,044 older Japanese adults found that those with lower vitamin C levels in their blood plasma tended to have a lower volume of gray matter in their brains, as well as lower connectivity ...

A new study found that older adults with higher vitamin C levels in their blood had more gray matter — a type of brain tissue linked to memory and cognition. Older Japanese adults with more vitamin C ...

Scientists have long known that myelin doesn’t appear everywhere in the brain at once. Some regions myelinate early, others much later, and the timing shapes everything from motor development to ...
