A report on zebra finches highlights how songbird brains can generate new neurons, renewing interest in whether human brains retain similar capacity.

A study highlighted by Medical Xpress says the brain’s default mode network may be organized into distinct sender and receiver zones, adding a new layer to how scientists think about internally focused cognition.

Researchers say understanding language involves fast-moving exchanges across multiple brain regions, challenging older ideas that assigned the job to a single area.

A study in mice suggests stressful experiences during adolescence can leave deeper, longer-lasting marks on the brain than similar stress in adulthood.

Researchers have found that ADHD brains briefly enter sleep-like states during wakeful, demanding tasks — a neural pattern directly linked to attention lapses, slower reaction times, and more frequent errors.
