Our brains quickly assess food, noting taste, health, and familiarity all at once. A study in 'Appetite' reveals this parallel processing behind our complex choices.

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can responsibly use these bits of gray matter.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain's rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia,

Instead of a steady climb and gradual decline, the data pointed to five broad phases of development and aging, each with its own patterns of connectivity.Those phases break down like this:Childhood (birth to about 9): rapid growth in gray and white matter,

Your brain doesn't have to age on autopilot. New research shows we can slow—and potentially reverse—brain aging.

In a conversation with Dr. Steven Gundry, I reflect on what the gut–brain connection reveals about inflammation, longevity, and how we care for ourselves over time.

The findings suggest that while chronic pain was associated with accelerated brain aging in earlier studies, healthy behaviors may help protect the brain as people get older. The study is published in Brain Communications.

Are we finally revising our ideas on the role of fat in the diet? We’ve complained before that demonizing saturated fat is not supported by sound science. According to a recent analysis, avoiding saturated fat might help only people at the highest risk (Annals of Internal Medicine,

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The new BCI solution has been implanted in over 50 patients.
