People with a higher genetic predisposition to attempting suicide tend to show differences in brain structure, according to a new study published in the journal Human Brain Mapping. The researchers ...

The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...

Overworking physically alters brain regions responsible for executive functions and emotional stability, according to a new study, with potential long-term impact. Experts weighed in.

Multimodal analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data enables leveraging complementary information across multiple imaging modalities that may be incomplete when using a single modality. For ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...
