Scientists Discover The Brain Starts Life 'Too Full' And Then Trims Itself Down
A new study from Austrian researchers suggests the brain begins life with an overly dense and disorganised network of connections, which is then gradually pruned and refined as the animal matures, challenging the long-held idea that the brain is a blank slate at birth.

Brain's Memory Centre Becomes More Efficient With Age, Finds Study
A new study reveals how the brain's memory centre becomes more efficient with age, shedding excess connections to sharpen learning and recall.

Just 20 Minutes Of Exercise Sparks Brain Ripples That Help Boost Memory: Study
While scientists already knew that exercise is good for the brain, they were uncertain about its effects on the specific electrical signals involved in memory.

Chronic Kidney Disease Linked To Trouble With Brain Function, Study Finds
Advancing chronic kidney disease may raise risk of cognitive decline, with attention, memory and brain function impacted, new JAMA study reveals.

Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure Can Affect Your Brain; Here's How
High blood pressure exerts a powerful and often silent toll on the brain by damaging the complex network of blood vessels required for healthy cognitive function.

Targeting Brain Network May Make Parkinson's Treatment More Effective: Study
A study has suggested that treatments for Parkinson's disease could potentially be doubly efficacious by targeting a brain network linking cognition and action, rather than brain regions responsible for movements.

Intelligence Linked To Overall Brain Activity, Rather Than Specific Region: Study
Researchers at University of Notre Dame reveal evidence for the Network Neuroscience Theory, showing intelligence as system-wide brain coordination for focus, flexibility, and problem-solving.

7 Mistakes That Are Secretly Hampering Your Gut-Brain Axis
The gut houses a vast network of neurons and is home to trillions of microbes, which produce neurotransmitters and other chemicals that communicate with the central nervous system.

China Unveils ‘Darwin Monkey’, World’s Largest Neuromorphic Supercomputer
China has unveiled Darwin Monkey, the world’s largest neuromorphic supercomputer. With over 2 billion artificial neurons and 100 billion synapses, it mirrors a macaque brain’s complexity. Designed by Zhejiang University and Zhejiang Lab, the system could accelerate neuroscience simulations and advance artificial general intelligence while consu...

Research Shows What Happens to Your Brain When You Watch a Movie
Neuroscientists have mapped brain activity in people watching movies, showing how different networks respond to scenes involving people, objects, and action. Complex scenes activated brain regions linked to executive functions like problem-solving, while simpler dialogues primarily engaged language processing areas. The study, based on data from th...

Depression Could Be Linked With the Brain Network Responsible for Guiding Attention, Study Claims
Groundbreaking research has identified a larger salience network in individuals with depression, even before the onset of symptoms, which could revolutionise how depression is detected and treated. The study, which used precision functional mapping, suggests that this brain network remains stable over time and may offer a reliable biomarker for ear...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...
