Researchers discovered a feedback loop between nerve cells, the immune system and the heart. They think it shows promise as a ...

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

At what point do "you" end and the outside world begins? It might feel like a weird question with an obvious answer, but your ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the time gap your brain tolerates between seeing and feeling a touch while still ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A brain protein called ANO2 has emerged as a new piece of the puzzle linking Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections and MS ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Mindia Wichert has taken part in plenty of brain experiments as a cognitive-neuroscience graduate student at the Humboldt University of Berlin, but none was as challenging as one he faced in 2023.

Activity levels in a specific region of the brain predict whether we think something is real, irrespective of whether we've seen it or imagined it. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
