When a child develops a brain tumor, early diagnosis is essential. Alan Cohen, M.D., director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, shares the most common signs and symptoms ...

The brain interprets these sensory cues to understand what’s going on outside and inside the body. This allows a person to use their body to interact with their surrounding environment and ...

A man with paralysis who had electrodes implanted in his brain can pilot a virtual drone through an obstacle course simply by imagining moving his fingers. His brain signals are interpreted by an ...

Parasitic infections can invade practically any part of the body. Brain parasites, those that infect the central nervous system which includes the brain, are potentially the most damaging and the most ...

They removed a slaughterhouse pig’s brain from its head and deprived it of oxygen at room temperature for four hours. Then, they hooked it up to their resuscitation machine and revived it—to ...

Your brain has a lot of work to do, constantly balancing tasks while conserving energy. If you understand how the human brain decides what to pay attention to—and what to ignore—your public ...
