Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an equally vital scaffold, the extracellular matrix (ECM).

A study tracks how the structure of the brain changes during pregnancy, drawing on brain scans gathered before, during and ...

The findings show that some parts of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but become better connected.

A neuroscientist underwent MRIs during her pregnancy and postpartum. Her team found two major changes in her brain.

For the first time, scientists have observed the brain throughout the pregnancy timeline, from pre-conception to postpartum.

As with any type of tumor, brain tumors are an abnormal growth of cells, the number of which will determine, in part, the overall size of the tumor. In the case of benign brain tumors, these cells ...

Pregnancy appears to trigger a kind of “reorganization” of an expecting mother’s brain, new research suggests. MRI images ...

Pregnancy may cause more than 80% of the brain's gray matter to shrink, leaving "permanent etchings." That's what researchers found when a pregnant neuroscientist underwent more than two dozen ...

New research uncovers dual brain maps for spatial planning, with potential insights into neurological conditions like stroke.
