Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

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

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).

Using powerful 7-Tesla brain imaging, researchers mapped how the brainstem manages pain differently across the body. They discovered that distinct regions activate for facial versus limb pain, showing ...

Researchers have developed a new way to decipher the language of the brain by listening to and recording the fastest and ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

A new study from Hebrew University reveals that paracetamol doesn’t just work in the brain—it also blocks pain at its source by acting on nerve endings in the body. The researchers found that its ...
