Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

New research shows that the frequency of alpha waves in the parietal cortex impacts how we perceive body ownership. Faster wave frequencies enhance the precision of body ownership sensations, while ...

So how does the brain keep track of when different sensory signals come in from the body? It relies on certain rhythmic waves ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

In Parkinson's disease, the cerebral cortex can take over tasks from a deeper part of the brain that has been damaged, where cells that make dopamine have been lost. The strength of compensation by ...

High-fat diets are linked to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other health problems. High-fat diets can also ...
