Lots of studies have shown that getting a good night’s rest (seven to eight hours) is associated with better memory and other cognitive abilities. That’s because sleep, especially REM sleep, is when your brain transfers short-term memories — things you learned or experienced during the day — into long-term storage.

But boosting our brains does not end there, millions of us are downloading brain training apps to improve our processing speed, memory and to try to protect the 86 billion neurons we have stored in our heads - and as a way, we are told, of staying mentally resilient in the age of artificial intelligence.

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can responsibly use these bits of gray matter.

In a conversation with Dr. Steven Gundry, I reflect on what the gut–brain connection reveals about inflammation, longevity, and how we care for ourselves over time.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain's rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia,

Elon Musk said that Neuralink implants will move to an "almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026."

An Australian-first study finds evidence of previously undetected, long-term cognitive changes in women more than six months after they experienced repeated concussions and strangulation during intimate partner violence.

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The new BCI solution has been implanted in over 50 patients.
