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

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

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

A nerve injury activates a brain pathway that turns short-term pain into chronic pain. Blocking this signal may prevent ...

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

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind for life. Adolescence is a major turning point not only for social and ...

But many scientists still believe that the scientific keys to the kingdom of consciousness are within reach. Lately, some are focusing their attention on a new technology called transcranial focused ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...
