Your baby’s brain continues to develop in the coming weeks, endowing him with a remarkable range of involuntary movements like stretching, yawning, and sucking by the end of the first trimester and ...

For the first time, a drug shows effectiveness in adult human brain cells — an achievement long thought impossible.

In the new study, researchers demonstrated that the human brain falls asleep abruptly, rather than gradually, with a "tipping point" marking the transition from wakefulness into sleep. They were then ...
