A compelling study examining brain scans suggests lonely adults have a unique neural signature. The research found lonely people present increased connectivity in brain regions dedicated to tasks such as daydreaming, reminiscing and imagining.

A study is reporting promising results testing the world’s first portable MRI machine in a real-world intensive care setting. The device detected brain abnormalities in almost all patients studied, paving the way for new bedside diagnostic capabilities.

A team of US scientists has just solved a long-standing biological mystery – how exactly do millipedes mate? Using a variety of novel imaging methods, including microscopic ultraviolet photography and micro-CT scanning, the research finally figured out how these tiny creatures get it on.

A team of UK researchers has, for the first time in living human brains, demonstrated how the cognitive dysfunction seen in schizophrenia may be caused by the lack of a key protein known to facilitate communication between neurons in the brain.

A new study tracked the effects of extreme isolation on the brains of crew members living on a research station in Antartica. It presents some of the first evidence showing how social isolation can cause tangible structural changes in a human brain.
