For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

Understanding brain structure is a central challenge in neuroscience. Although brain structure changes throughout life and is linked to both aging and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

Fear has a scent. Here’s how this invisible chemical signal has shaped human perceptions, emotions and survival instincts.

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

What’s so special about the human brain? What distinguishes the human brain from the brains of other animals? These intriguing questions have been approached from many directions, but here the focus ...

A novel placebo-controlled study has found daily caffeine consumption can significantly reduce the volume of gray matter in the human brain. These findings do not immediately suggest caffeine ...

"This is the first study to directly link senescence-related molecular networks in living human brain tissue to measurable differences in brain structure within the same individuals," said Noam ...
