When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

A recent study published in Nature has found that the "superagers" among us brains cognitive ability declines differently than their similarly aged peers ...

Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost none.

Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...
