Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum have debunked the theory that the left brain hemisphere is dominant in the processing of all languages. To date, it has been assumed that that dominance is ...

A new method uses label-free imaging and AI to quantify axons and myelin in human brain tissue, offering insights into white ...

A new study finds that teenagers with higher intelligence scores develop specialized brain hemisphere functions more quickly than their peers. Researchers tracked changes in functional homotopy, the ...

Views at various scales of two kinds of neurons (calretinin-expressing in cyan and somatostatin-expressing in magenta) in the prefrontal cortex of a human brain. Observing anything and everything ...

Key Points: Scientists continue to uncover the ways in which even mild brain injury influences the brain's functioning. Recent findings suggest that such injuries can have an impact on the structure ...

A new study finds that as children mature, the left and right brain hemispheres become less synchronized, with the fastest specialization seen in adolescents with superior intelligence. Researchers ...

Just a few fibres are enough for the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate with each other. This was shown by a new international study led by Professor Dr Michael Miller (University of ...

I've always wondered what exactly happens inside my brain after a sleepless night. Why does everything feel harder—thinking ...
