Our understanding of consciousness could be fundamentally wrong

Mutational analysis shows that cells derived from the bone marrow colonize the human brain during ageing.

Summary aspects of internal mentation—the form and content of thoughts—occurring during resting-state scans show trait-like qualities, contribute to functional connectivity, and should be considered w...

One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that could transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC

How does cerebral blood perfusion map onto micro-, meso- and macro-scale brain structure? Using arterial spin labeling data from the Human Connectome Project, this study provides a detailed characteri...

As large-scale neurodevelopmental MRI studies gain prominence, the authors identify tradeoffs between sample size and quality control that can dramatically affect results, and they evaluate a range of...

Every cell in the body has a biological sex. The expansion of aging research to investigate female- and male-specific biology heralds a major advance for human health. Unraveling and harnessing mechanistic etiologies of sex differences may reveal new diagnostics and therapeutics for the aging brain.

Individual variability in behavior is influenced by social identities. Here, Dhamala et al. discuss the need to incorporate social identities in neuroimaging studies of behavior and explore how to fos...

The emerging neuroscience of motherhood as a developmental stage.

The discovery that other vertebrates have healthy, microbial brains is fueling the still controversial possibility that we might have them as well.

Task demands are a primary determiner of behavior and neurophysiology. Here the authors discuss how understanding their influence through multitask studies and tests of generalization is the key to ar...
