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.

The human brain is much more flexible than we ever thought. New studies have begun to suggest that, even in adulthood, the brain can produce new neurons through a process known as neurogenesis. Some daily habits can actually help this brain growth occur more naturally,

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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.
