For most of the 20th century, the scientific consensus held that the adult brain was essentially fixed, unable to grow new connections or recover lost function after a critical window in childhood.

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing the brain’s blood vessels. It's the missing link between exercise and ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process human speech in different languages. The extent to which these models replicate ...

Pregnancy reshapes the brain more profoundly than scientists ever imagined – and a landmark new study is finally mapping exactly how.

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during childhood, settled into a stable form in early ...
