A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. Now, a study ...

Like fingerprints, human brains are unique. Scientists are working to map the variability of individual brains and to inform personalized therapeutics for treatment-resistant disease. These findings ...

Neuroscientists have set up computer frameworks that can help model individual brain dynamics. The complexity of the human brain -- 86 billion neurons strong with more than 100 trillion connections -- ...

Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the molecular level, thereby controlling how the brain and ...

Yale professor of neuroscience Nenad Sestan authors two papers outlining the function of retinoic acid in human brain development, which has implications for fostering a better understanding of human ...

This blog was co-authored with Marcia Gralha, M.A. Human personality concerns (a) how we are all alike (i.e., human nature), (b) how we are like some other people (i.e., individual differences), and ...

Differences between men and women in intelligence and behaviour have been proposed and disputed for decades. Now, a growing ...
