But the performance of the technology—how easily and accurately a BCI user’s thoughts move a cursor, for example—is limited ...

Nagoya University researchers found that excessive neuronal activation, not decreased activity, drives age-related cognitive ...

Every day, our brain makes thousands of decisions, big and small. Any of these decisions—from the least consequential, such ...

Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that ...

Researchers have identified two distinct groups of neurons that help the brain evaluate risk and reward in decision-making.

Scientists have found specialised neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known to play a role in monitoring food intake ...

Unlike most cells in the brain that send and receive specific signals to the body about eating, these are unique in their function. “Other neurons in the brain are usually restricted to sensing ...

A flair of energy in the brain in a dying patient who had “no blood pressure” or “heart rate” could be evidence of the “soul ...

Scientists explore how the immune and nervous systems constantly communicate, influencing brain diseases, behavior, and ...

MIT neuroscientists have made a breakthrough in treating fragile X syndrome by leveraging a novel neurotransmitter signaling ...

New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that caused by the observer moving through it. Known as the 'motion-source ...
