Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

Mice moving tiny steering wheels to control shapes on a screen have given scientists an unprecedented view of how decisions unfold across the brain. For the first time, researchers have mapped ...

Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Nearly all animals with complex nervous systems, including mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles, have brains, yet we're still very far from fully understanding what parts of the brain do what. That's ...

The maxim “movement is medicine” exists for a reason. When done safely and properly, physical activity can boost your mood, bone health and more. While the connection between exercise and, say, muscle ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

The first complete activity map of a mammalian brain has revealed unprecedented insights into how decisions are made – and may even hint at the roots of that mysterious feeling we call intuition. For ...
