As Alzheimer’s disease pathology advances, tangles propagate throughout the brain in a fairly stereotypical pattern. Yet tau PET scans of people at the same disease stage are not identical. Could ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

The field of functional neuroimaging has advanced rapidly over recent years, offering unprecedented insights into the dynamic interplay between distinct brain regions. Techniques such as functional ...

Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

WASHINGTON — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date — a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire ...
