New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

The research suggests that intelligence is unified not because the brain relies on a single general-purpose processor, but because the same organizational principles shape how all cognitive functions ...

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, on Thursday unveiled the Functional Repair of Neocortical Tissue (FRONT) ...

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain, integrates memory and processing to drastically reduce power consumption compared to traditional CPUs and GPUs, making AI at the network edge more ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

Now why would someone throw paint all over a perfectly good human brain? The good news is that this isn’t a paint splattered brain, but the colors are meaningful. This is a functional magnetic ...

To test this claim, the cognitive neuroscientists analyzed brain imaging and cognitive data from one of the largest studies conducted to date, examining 831 adults in the Human Connectome Project, ...

Aron Barbey, the Andrew J. McKenna Family Professor of Psychology in Notre Dame’s Department of Psychology, is also the director of the Notre Dame Human Neuroimaging Center and the Decision ...
