Two new studies suggest the brain processes odors through a structured system, not the random sensory spaghetti researchers once assumed.

Brain Dead, the Los Angeles based label isn't afraid to get nerdy and for that reason, it's slowly worming its way into your closet.

Scientists discovered that sleep deprivation damages a key brain circuit responsible for social memory, making it harder to recognize familiar individuals.…

The supplement is a proven sports performance enhancer, but research is ongoing and for most people it’s an optional extra, not an essential

A stroke happens when either the blood supply to the brain is blocked or a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts. In both cases, brain cells begin to die in minutes.

Caltech honors four visionary alumni with the 2026 Distinguished Alumni Award for groundbreaking contributions spanning computer science, media technology, space instrumentation, and neuroscience.

A "foundational" study found that the brains of children with ADHD matured later, but that finding was likely a mirage tied to issues with how the children were followed over time.

People with a rare genetic disorder that damages the amygdala are helping neuroscientists rethink how the brain shapes fear, trust and concern for others.

A new study challenges the idea that consciousness is necessary to make sense of language.

Getting enough vitamin B12 to meet current health guidelines may not actually be enough to protect the aging brain. Researchers at UC San Francisco found that older adults with “normal” but lower levels of active B12 showed signs of slower thinking,…

A newly identified brain protein may play a major role in how the body ages. Researchers discovered that declining levels of Menin in the hypothalamus triggered inflammation, memory problems, bone loss, and other aging-related changes in mice.…

USC researchers have identified potential new drug compounds that may reduce the brain inflammation linked to Alzheimer’s disease, especially in people with the high-risk APOE4 gene.…

Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a nasal spray that appears to reverse brain aging by calming inflammation and restoring the brain’s energy systems.…

A drug combo widely explored for anti-aging may actually damage the brain, according to new mouse research showing severe loss of myelin and changes linked to “chemo brain.” Surprisingly, the damaged cells resembled those seen in multiple sclerosis,…

When the body runs low on protein, the gut sends powerful signals to the brain that reshape cravings and push animals to seek essential amino acids instead of sugar.…

A new brain imaging study has found no evidence of widespread brain inflammation in patients suffering from prolonged symptoms after COVID-19 infection.…

A newly identified protein called GPNMB may play a major role in helping Parkinson’s disease spread through the brain. Researchers discovered that immune cells release the protein in response to damaged neurons, creating a vicious cycle that speeds up…

CBD may be doing far more than just easing pain or anxiety — new research suggests it could help fight Alzheimer’s disease by calming the brain’s runaway immune response.…
