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

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

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 ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Attention can feel like a fragile thing, especially when your brain struggles to sort signal from noise. Every second, your ...

Depression is a debilitating mental health disorder that remains a substantial global health challenge. Despite the availability of various antidepressants, treatment outcomes often face limited ...

Working in a mouse model, UC Davis researchers are able to distinguish brain cells activated by a psychedelic drug. This image shows the prefrontal cortex of a mouse injected with scFLARE2 (purple) ...

The brain is constantly bombarded with information, and focus depends on its ability to filter out distractions and detect what matters. Attention disorders such as attention-deficit hyperactivity ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...
