Are people who are more creative really "left-brained"? Is a human brain not fully developed until a person hits 25 years old? Did my parents waste a bunch of money buying Mozart CDs to make me smarter as a baby? In this episode,...

Blind people use the same part of their brains to recognize faces as sighted people, and can even identify a face from the sound of someone chewing. <b<br/>r/>

Research suggests there's a reason you can't remember much from your childhood: new memories are replacing the old ones.

Turns out doing the crossword is only one way you can keep your head healthy because mushrooms can help your brain cells grow!

If you're a Pokémon super-fan seeing Detective Pikachu this weekend, a little bit of your brain might light up that won’t light up in the brains of those that didn’t try to catch 'em all! Find out why that's important to understanding...

Drugging animals may seem like a bad idea, but you'd be shocked to learn what it can teach scientists about disease, biology & animal behavior! Join us for a new animal-focused episode of SciShow, hosted by the one and only Hank Green!

This week, scientists announced great news about our brains and those discoveries may help us find the cure for a number of diseases and disorders.

Neurons often get all the credit for running the brain, but the work done by Ben Barres at Stanford University proved that glial cells are far more crucial to brain functioning than we had previously realized.

When birds and squirrels cache food for the winter, it means they have to remember where to find that food later. Their strategies for finding their hidden feasts includes memory tricks and changing brains.

How is it that you can be looking at a distinct object in front of you, yet picture something entirely different in your mind? The inner workings of what’s happening in our brains to allow this is a puzzle that scientists are now...

Ever stop to ponder how your brain ponders its own complexities? How does it know to tell your limbs to stop moving and have a think? Fear not, because we have answers to many questions about those wrinkly sponges!

Neuroscientist Sergiu P. Pasca has made it his life's work to understand how the human brain builds itself -- and what makes it susceptible to disease. In a mind-blowing talk laden with breakthrough science, he shows how his team figured...

Michael Aranda hosts a compilation of videos discussing the science of memory!

We have a powerful way to study how brains work thanks to a relatively new technology called chemogenetics. With chemogenetics, scientists can give an injection to mice that turns specific parts of their brains on or off!

SciShow explores the grim story of the lobotomy, the medical procedure that earned its inventor perhaps the most regrettable Nobel Prize in history.

Can we edit the content of our memories? It's a sci-fi-tinged question that Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu are asking in their lab at MIT. Essentially, the pair shoot a laser beam into the brain of a living mouse to activate and manipulate its...

Today on SciShow News: We've learned more about the Zika virus, and we'll tell you how gamers are helping to develop quantum computers.

Cambridge researcher Aubrey de Grey argues that aging is merely a disease -- and a curable one at that. Humans age in seven basic ways, he says, all of which can be averted.

Calling them "our bodies' own repair kits," Susan Solomon advocates research using lab-grown stem cells. By growing individual pluripotent stem cell lines, her team creates testbeds that could accelerate research into curing diseases --...

This month, in a study that has the potential to change the way we think about death, scientists revealed that they successfully restored some processes in the brains of dead pigs -- at least partially. What did the study actually tell...

SciShow News delves into the history of marine animals and finds that they’re getting bigger, and unlocks the secret of how cannabis creates one of its most medically useful effects.

Eva Vertes -- only 19 when she gave this talk -- discusses her journey toward studying medicine and her drive to understand the roots of cancer and Alzheimer’s.
