A Pennsylvania summer camp helps children who have survived brain injuries. But the future of federal funding for brain injury research, as well as grants to states to help such patients, is in limbo.

Models of how the brain changes over time could help researchers to understand how diseases affect the organ later in life.

Creatine is important for muscle and brain health and may have other effects. Keep safety in mind and be realistic about any benefits of creatine supplements.

Researchers have uncovered a possible reason why the Alzheimer’s risk gene APOE4 can disrupt the brain long before memory problems begin. In mice, APOE4 increased a protein called Nell2, shrinking neurons and making memory circuits unusually active.

A brain-imaging study finds that one workout boosts positive mood and may strengthen amygdala–precuneus communication, a brain pattern often altered in depression.

For an experienced reader, recognising the words on this page feels effortless. Yet, evolutionarily speaking, your brain shouldn’t be able to read. Reading has existed for too short a time to have shaped a dedicated centre in the brain.

A major study found that adults with depression show disrupted production of new neurons in the hippocampus, potentially weakening the brain’s ability to separate new experiences from painful memories.

Brain cells and chemical signals could hold the missing piece of memory that today's silicon computers cannot reproduce
