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 ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can ...

When a magnet is heated up, it reaches a critical point where it loses magnetization. Called "criticality," this point of high complexity is reached when a physical object is transitioning smoothly ...

Psychotherapy leads to measurable changes in brain structure. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Münster have demonstrated this for the first time in ...

Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

A study of nearly 10,000 adolescents funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has identified distinct differences in the brain structures of those who used substances before age 15 compared ...

Steven Weisberg, a researcher at the University of Texas at Arlington, found that advanced artificial intelligence tools could not uncover a clear link between brain structure and navigation ability ...

Working long hours may change the structure of your brain, including regions associated with emotional regulation and executive function— such as problem solving and working memory—new research has ...
