Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a much quieter conversation. Now a set of new tools is letting researchers ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Microplastics have moved from distant ocean gyres into the most intimate of places: the human brain. A growing body of research now suggests these tiny fragments may not just be passengers in our ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Researchers have identified two brain receptors that help the brain clear away amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. By stimulating these receptors in mice, scientists increased levels of a ...

The brain’s wiring forms a unique fingerprint that reveals how we think, remember, and make decisions. A new study offers the ...
