How much of the brain does each person use throughout their day?

Researchers have confirmed the existence of an odd type of brain cell that other neuroscientists once thought might be only a technical quirk or error.

Artificial intelligence can produce music that sounds similar to tunes people were listening to as they had their brains scanned, a collaborative study from Google and Osaka University shows.

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.
