Researchers identify the Functional-Structural Ratio (FSR) as the biological link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline, offering a potential new biomarker for dementia risk.

The extreme mental and physical fatigue brought on by long COVID may be a result of structural changes in the brain, new research suggests. These observable changes not only promise to improve the ...

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 ...

Long working hours may alter the structure of the brain, particularly the areas associated with emotional regulation and executive function, such as working memory and problem solving, suggest the ...

Rutgers researchers are launching a clinical trial to explore whether alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-enriched nutrition can improve memory and brain health in older adults with mild cognitive impairment ...

Older adults lose their ability to hear concrete sounds first, and with this loss come the more difficult aspects of hearing: the fuzzy edges of speech. As your hearing deteriorates, you are likely ...

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 ...

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 ...

What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once deemed impossible. A global team of researchers has unveiled the most intricate ...

Scientists from the Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICRONS) consortium have published the microconnectome of a cubic millimeter of the mouse brain. This is the most complete map of this ...
