The Living Telemetry Setup: Executed by PhD student Imri Lifshitz, the team developed a novel behavioral rig where a subject ...

Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...

Researchers launch Neuropixels Opto, integrating electrophysiology and optogenetics on a single hair-thin probe.

You will be redirected to our submission process. Neural plasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to modify its structure and function in response to experience, serves as the fundamental substrate ...

How does the brain decide to approach others? Researchers have found that coordinated brain activity linked to social behavior begins seconds before movement starts. In a study using zebrafish, they ...

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, and I'm terrified of the idea of brain surgery. Are there less invasive treatment options available, and how do doctors decide which one ...

Exercise is often described as one of the best things we can do for the brain. It can sharpen memory, support mood, and lower the risk of cognitive decline later in life.

But a new mouse study suggests part of its hunger-suppressing power comes from the hindbrain — an evolutionarily old region at the base of the brain that helps regulate basic survival functions, ...

Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and support brain and heart health. Certain nuts and seeds, like walnuts and ...

Neuronal protein tracing maps how waste exits the brain, revealing region‑specific drainage routes and showing how inflammation and Alzheimer’s disrupt clearance.

Some neuroscientists argue that the roots of experience lie deep inside the brain. If they’re right, the consciousness club ...

Research in mice reveals a new way that brain plasticity is controlled — providing a long-awaited insight into how critical ...
