The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's navigational system. It impairs the function of the grid cells that play a crucial role in orientation. This has been verified by researchers from Ruhr ...

The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's grid cells, blurring the internal GPS system and impairing navigation.

A growing body of neuroscience research is challenging the long-held assumption that general anesthesia works by simply switching the brain off. Instead, multiple independent studies now point to a ...

Researchers recorded brain activity directly in epilepsy patients and found that a short cycling session increased ...

Dr. Feng Liu is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Systems Engineering here at Stevens, and his latest project is making and developing AI models that help “decode” the brain with ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Babies with congenital heart disease have altered brain activity in regions involved in movement and emotions, but heart surgery restored these brain networks to healthy connectivity.

For many people, birdwatching starts as a quiet outdoor hobby. A pair of binoculars, a walk through a wooded trail or neighborhood park, and the simple challenge of spotting different species can turn ...

An AI neural network helped neuroscientists develop a neurocomputational explanation for how humans chart a “mental map” of emotion knowledge. Pinpointing these neural mechanisms may ultimately help ...

Researchers developed super-resolution functional photoacoustic microscopy to track single red blood cells in mouse brains, advancing study of cerebral small vessel disease.
