Indian elephants have larger brains than we do (obviously). Mice have a higher brain-to-body mass ratio, and long-finned pilot whales have more neurons. So what makes humans—and more specifically, ...

You know that feeling when your brain feels like a browser with 47 tabs open, and half of them are playing different videos at the same time? You sit down to work or ...

We were designed to feel our feelings. The electrical impulses firing around in that squishy thing inside our skulls are guiding how we experience love, or fear, or panic. Yet we often forget that ...

Singing also represents a way of boosting general health as it has been shown to be an underrated workout comparible to a ...

To think, act and feel your best, your brain needs constant access to high quality energy. Is it possible that creatine can help our brains regenerate energy, and can this combat foggy thinking, ...

Scientists discovered that lowered brain energy signaling in the hippocampus can lead to both depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Stress reduced ATP, a molecule important for cell energy ...

A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur in various brain disorders.

International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research (BRAMS) has the following research output in the current window (1 September 2024 - 31 August 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to ...

Computers have come so far in terms of their power and potential, rivaling and even eclipsing human brains in their ability to store and crunch data, make predictions and communicate. But there is one ...

A new study has pinpointed how the APOE4 gene variant sabotages the brain’s energy balance, blocking neurons from burning fat for fuel when glucose runs low, a discovery that could reveal new ways to ...

Researchers reveal how gut microbes shape metabolic strategies to fuel larger brains, offering a glimpse into the evolutionary biology of primates. Putative model for microbial influences on the ...
