An upcoming resupply mission to the International Space Station will include stem cells destined to be grown into tiny, 3D models of the human brain.

Brain cells, or neurons, have multiple means of communication, and their chatter may be influenced by the cells around them, research suggests.

An analysis of more than 400 brain scans has revealed a potential new biomarker for depression.

Scientists suggest strange swirls across the outer layer of the brain might be used to link different parts of it together and help process information faster.

Brain implants developed by Elon Musk's company Neuralink have been approved for human testing. The safety of the devices previously came under scrutiny following reports of "botched surgeries" in animal test subjects.

After being shot in the head, a soldier in the Spanish Civil War woke up to find a world that's completely backward.

Scientists uncovered a "biomarker" for chronic pain in the brains of four patients and are using the data to develop a new brain stimulation therapy.

A man's head injury resulted in a rare neurological condition that caused him to "see" music, and simultaneously, he became more creative.

A study involving more than 28,000 people strongly supports the idea that daily smoking shrinks the brain.

After a mild concussion, parts of the brain can become "hyperconnected," and this may contribute to patients' long-lasting symptoms.
