Scientists discovered that brain-cell axons may not be smooth tubes as textbooks have shown for more than a century, but instead naturally resemble strings of tiny pearls. Those pearl-like structures ...

A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution brain imaging system that can reconstruct microscopic brain structures that ...

The human brain is a marvel of complexity. It contains specialised and interconnected structures controlling our thoughts, personality and behaviour. The size and shape of our brains also play a ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

The field of neuroscience is making incredible strides, with researchers now able to replicate the brain's intricate networks using 3D bioprinting. This groundbreaking technique allows scientists to ...

Understanding brain structure is a central challenge in neuroscience. Although brain structure changes throughout life and is linked to both aging and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's ...
