How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly large reserve of “silent synapses” in the adult brain—unused neural connections that can be rapidly activated to store new memories.

Droplets containing human iPSC-derived neural progenitors were 3D-printed to form 2-layer cerebral cortical tissue, which was cultured before implantation into a mouse brain slice. DNPs: deep-layer ...

A team of researchers from Spain was curious to know if people with high psychopathic traits have anomalies in the brain's physical structures, which make them incapable of feeling regret or capable ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...

You are what you eat, according to the adage. But it's not just the body that's impacted. According to research from UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, living in a disadvantaged neighborhood can ...

Gum disease affects the cortical structure of the brain, including the surficial area and cortical thickness, suggesting a connection and emphasizing the periodontal tissue-brain axis, according to a ...
