The findings could help improve hearing aids, attention training, and brain-computer interfaces by revealing how the brain ...

Researchers have discovered “meal memory” neurons in laboratory rats that may explain why forgetting lunch can lead to overeating. Scientists have identified a unique population of brain cells ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limb ...

Lead poisoning isn’t just an industrial-age problem. A new study reveals our ancestors, including Neanderthals, were exposed ...

A major collaboration between UC San Diego and 23andMe identified genes that shape cannabis use behaviors. The study linked the CADM2 and GRM3 genes to cannabis use and connected these patterns to ...

Erin Margaret Schuman, Ph.D., Director and Professor at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, has been elected as a ...

When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, the auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not ...

When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not sound driven ...

very image we see and every sound we hear is encoded in the brain through the activation of tiny processing units called neurons – nerve cells that are ten times smaller than a human hair. The human ...
