New research reveals that the level of fat within the body’s muscle–or muscle adiposity–may indicate a person’s likelihood of experiencing cognitive decline as they age.

Science shows why our taste in music can’t be siloed into catch-all genres.

Using insights into how people intuit others’ emotions, researchers have designed a model that approximates this aspect of human social intelligence.

Progesterone, a hormone found in birth control, has been shown to have a protective effect on intestinal nerve cells, which communicate with the brain. Researchers hope that the hormone could be used to fight Parkinson's disease.

Every part of the brain surface (the cerebral cortex) has a specific job description. But one part of the brain surface could not be linked to a function. Scientists have just discovered that this mysterious and seemingly silent surface is actually one of the most colorful regions of the brain.

Disentangling the complex nerve fiber network of the brain is becoming easily accessible with scattered light imaging.

Researchers have shown that defective myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists show how brood parasitism in mites could be based on the risk of egg predation

Tinnitus, the ringing, buzzing or hissing sound of silence, varies from slightly annoying in some to utterly debilitating in others. A recent study from researchers at the University of Michigan’s Kresge Hearing Research Institute suggests relief may be possible.
