Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Physical fitness, physical activity and screen time are associated with brain mechanisms underlying mental health and learning, according to two recent studies from the University of Eastern Finland ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have uncovered a surprising new way to influence brain activity by targeting a long-mysterious class of proteins linked to anxiety, schizophrenia, and movement disorders.

The first complete activity map of a mammalian brain has revealed unprecedented insights into how decisions are made – and may even hint at the roots of that mysterious feeling we call intuition. For ...

A new doctoral dissertation shows that gambling disorder is linked to brain networks involved in self-control and brain ...

A new doctoral dissertation shows that gambling disorder is linked to brain networks involved in self-control and brain reward functions. By combining several brain imaging methods, the research ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

Brain-wide map showing 75,000 analysed neurons lighting up during different stages of decision-making. At the beginning of the trial, the activity is quiet. Then it builds up in the visual areas at ...

A recent study provides new evidence on the neural basis of shyness, suggesting a link between this personality trait and spontaneous activity in the cerebellum. The research indicates that the ...

A new study published in Science Advances presents a method that converts human brain activity into coherent, descriptive text—even when the brain is not actively processing language. Instead of ...
