To explore these neural differences, the researchers used a computational approach called “network control theory” to measure how the brain transitions between different patterns of activity during ...

The roots of addiction risk may lie in how young brains function long before substance use begins, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine. The investigators found that children with a ...

Scientists analyzed MRI data from people aged eight to 100 years and found that in early childhood, differences in brain connectivity patterns between men and women are minimal, but they increase ...

A new study from Stanford University sheds light on why some older adults maintain strong memory while others struggle, even when both groups appear equally healthy. Researchers found that differences ...

For the first time, scientists have shown in animals how heavy alcohol use can cause long-lasting damage to brain circuits that control decision-making. The study, published in the journal Science ...
