This exploratory study in healthy young adults found that plasma sodium levels within the normal clinical range are ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

In the patterned brain organoids, by contrast, FGF8 is the only signal that specifies the different domains. Analyzing the brain organoids, the scientists conclude that the FGF8 source in the ...

Ever wake at night needing a drink of water and then find your way to the kitchen in the dark without stubbing your toe? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego say they have identified ...

A layer deep in the cerebral cortex, which is the innermost layer of the mammalian brain, has recently been found to play a role in the regulation of brain states associated with wakefulness and ...

Learn more about the new study, which highlights the importance of analyzing brain structure and connectivity simultaneously.

Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...
