If you want to understand an electronic device, you can simply review its circuit diagram. But even if such diagrams existed for the brain, they would be of limited use in unraveling this organ’s ...

Arousal fluctuates continuously during wakefulness, yet how these moment-to-moment variations shape large-scale functional connectivity (FC) remains unclear. Here, we combined 7T fMRI with concurrent ...

The researchers detected a specific delay of about 18 milliseconds between the waves in the visual cortex and the ...

By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. From alpha brain waves to amygdala activity, scientists map how forests, wetlands, and even ...

A few minutes beside trees or water can shift the brain into a calmer state. That change is not just a feeling.

The evidence is solid but not definitive, as the conclusions rely on the absence of changes in spatial breadth and would benefit from clearer statistical justification and a more cautious ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

The concept of network topology aims to describe the interconnectedness of different brain areas more precisely. This is of great relevance in physiology as ...

The moment I stopped leading with my career title, I discovered a silence where my identity used to be — and it turns out that silence is one of the most universal, least discussed experiences of ...

Researchers identify dopamine transporter abnormalities in young adults with autism, potentially explaining their 6x higher risk of Parkinson’s.

The study of nootropics in cognitive research illustrates both the promise and the complexity of brain optimization. Focus, ...
