As Alzheimer’s disease pathology advances, tangles propagate throughout the brain in a fairly stereotypical pattern. Yet tau PET scans of people at the same disease stage are not identical. Could ...

Your brain keeps time on multiple scales. New research reveals that synchronizing these internal clocks with the brain’s physical structure is crucial for efficient thought and cognitive flexibility.

The field of functional neuroimaging has advanced rapidly over recent years, offering unprecedented insights into the dynamic interplay between distinct brain regions. Techniques such as functional ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...

An Indian-origin Harvard professor, Aravinthan Samuel, is revolutionizing brain mapping with SmartEM, an AI-powered system.

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...
