Understanding how the human brain stores information and later uses it to complete various tasks has been a long-standing goal of neuroscience and psychology research. Past studies have identified ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD arise when the brain struggles to separate important signals from irrelevant noise. At any ...

A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

New research suggests that the way brain networks reorganize moment-to-moment predicts autism severity. Children who spent ...

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...
