Brain-imaging data collected from fetuses and infants has revealed a rapid surge in functional connectivity between brain regions on a global scale at birth, possibly reflecting neural processes that ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

Researchers identify the rostral prefrontal cortex as the essential bridge between spontaneous and executive brain networks ...

Infants born with congenital heart disease (CHD) often have neurodevelopmental impairments that affect them later in life, including their ability to regulate their emotions and movements. As CHD is ...

fMRI scans of human (left) and mouse (right) brains revealed patterns of connectivity (circles) that change with age. [Ezra Winter-Nelson] The human brain operates as a network of interconnected ...

A new study reveals that consuming an amount of caffeine equivalent to two cups of coffee enhances the brain’s ability to ...

Differences in brain connectivity are linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, yet scientists still struggle to determine what changes are shared or unique to each condition.
