A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University, ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, complete with blueprints, zoning rules, and emergent neighborhoods that ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry ...
