The researchers treated mouse serum with microplastics to form the microplastics that absorbed proteins, according to a ...

Microplastics have been found in our lungs, guts, and even our blood. Now, researchers say they may reduce protective enzymes and proteins that keep neurons strong.

So President Obama has proposed a Brain Activity Map (BAM) project to reveal some of these remaining secrets, using the Human Genome Project as a model. Not all scientists, however, are on board.

Long dismissed as impossible, nerve regrowth is offering new hope for healing injuries and treating neurodegeneration ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other.

Twelve laboratories around the world have joined forces to map neuronal activity in a mouse’s brain as it makes decisions.

The vagus nerve functions as a communication channel that links the brain to the gut system. The brain receives chemical ...

A recent study found that ‘huff-and-puff’ movements, like running or lap swimming, were associated with better brain functions including information processing, focusing and multitasking and ...

Early on, Nedergaard and Iliff, a glial cell biologist and a vascular physiologist, respectively, hypothesized that waste ...
