Armed with new tools that reveal patterns of connection between brain areas, researchers are gaining clearer insights into how the brain regulates behavior.
Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ageing.
Research reveals the brain processes that make some people much less prone to sudden food-related mood swings.
Trash pandas’ talent for escaping via lab vents may frustrate researchers, but their problem-solving skills make their brains a fascinating area of research.
Sadly, there is no cure for Huntington’s disease. But a couple new research papers suggests this may be about to change.
Researchers identified a key molecule that highlights how the immune system is linked to the release of dopamine.
It was once believed that mice had relatively poor vision. Turns out mice are far from blind – and studying how their vision is shaped by their environment and behavior can clarify the same in people.
Some children recover better after traumatic brain injury than others, despite appearing similarly to doctors. Looking at the genetic and cellular level, however, reveal key differences.
Footage of Kim Kardashian’s brain scan shows low-activity patches common in ageing. These differ entirely from the true holes caused by stroke or infection.
The brain’s sense of “this is my body” is tightly bound to conscious awareness – far more than many theories assume.
Here’s what these brain ‘holes’ and the scans that found them really mean.
Black Friday is a psychological event, carefully designed to take advantage of how your brain makes decisions. But you can stay one step ahead this sales season.
For decades, stroke damage was though to be irreversible.
Down syndrome results in changes to the structure and function of neural circuits in the brain. Delivering a specific protein to neurons could reverse these changes.
New data reveals differences in gene activity in the brains of men and women. They start in the womb and evolved millions of years ago
Taking up a hobby like art, dance or music classes could have significant hidden benefits.
Actors are skilled at performance and reading emotions in others, but athletes are set on winning.
Over-reliance on chatbots could be eroding our language and critical thinking skills.
Is misophonia related to inflexible thinking?
