The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

A specialized model used by researchers is becoming a valuable tool for studying human brain development, diseases and potential treatments, according to a team of scientists at Rutgers University-New ...

A human brain is a highly complex organ that consists of distinct anatomical and functional brain regions. The human brain performs high-level cognitive functions, sensory perception, memory, and ...

Psychedelic drugs are re-emerging as promising scientific and clinical tools. However, despite a rapidly expanding literature on their therapeutic value, the neural mechanisms underlying psychedelic ...

At first glance, the human brain might appear to be a marvel of engineering—a seamless interface for sensory input, cognitive control, and motor output. But if you peer beneath its sophisticated ...

The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract–the gut microbiome can exert a profound influence on the human body, and scientists are learning more about exactly how certain microbes can impact us.

Recent research indicates a link between an animal’s gut bacteria and brain function. This may be true in humans, too. Experiments showed that gene expression in the brains of the mice began to take ...

The idea that the human brain is divided into a logical left half and a creative right half has become one of the most enduring metaphors in psychology and popular culture. While this simplification ...

Editor’s note: Every year, hundreds of undergraduates at the University of Delaware pursue research under the guidance of a faculty mentor, especially during the summer months. Such experiences ...
