Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte ...

When most of us picture the brain, we imagine billions of nerve cells flashing with electrical activity, carrying thoughts, memories and commands from one region to another. Those cells, called ...

A new study shows that a lack of dietary fiber leads to rapid inflammation in the aging brain's amygdala, impairing emotional memory.

A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

Research on a 3D microfluidic model highlights gut-brain interactions, offering new insights into inflammatory processes ...

Although it was previously thought that compulsive behavior is the result of a "habit cycle" that suppresses self-control, a ...

Momentum behind brain-computer interfaces is growing, but experts say that design innovations are needed to help them survive ...

A research from the University of Technology Sydney suggests that compulsive behavior may not come from out-of-control habits. Instead, inflammation in a key brain area may make the brain overthink ...
