In a new study published recently in the journal Nature, researchers at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt Health have created the first growth charts for white matter in the brain over a human ...
Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Neuroscientists have long held that the brain reorganizes itself when a body part is amputated. A new ...
A new AI tool that analyzes MRI scans in fine detail reveals that the human brain does not age evenly. Some regions appear to age faster than others, with these differences becoming more pronounced in ...
Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...
When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers found eight body-like maps in the visual cortex that organize what we see ...
A new package of papers examines the largest map yet of mammalian brain tissue. The map shows one cubic millimeter worth of neurons in the visual cortex of a mouse. Many brain functions, particularly ...
The brain holds space for a missing limb, even years after it’s gone. For three women who underwent planned hand amputations, brain scans revealed remarkably durable maps of hand areas, lasting for ...
