A new study reveals a new role for serotonin in the development of the human neocortex.
When the brain forms a memory of a new experience, neurons called engram cells encode the details of the memory and are later reactivated whenever we recall it. A new study reveals that this process is controlled by large-scale remodeling of cells’ chromatin.
Increasing time spent sleeping immediately following a traumatic event can help to significantly reduce the effects of trauma.
Brain cell dysfunction in low oxygen is, surprisingly, caused by the very same responder system that is intended to be protective, according to a new published study.

DNA variation in a gene called ROBO1 is associated with early anatomical differences in a brain region that plays a key role in quantity representation, potentially explaining how genetic variability might shape mathematical performance in children, according to new research.
Early childhood trauma has an impact on glucose metabolism and blood composition, which are passed on to the next generation.
