Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

Brain dynamics and cognition share genetic roots. Criticality may guide future brain health research. A recent study published on June 24 in PNAS presents strong evidence that brain criticality—the de ...

For chronic pain patients, though, the brain interprets even neutral sensations as pain and suffering. In effect, pain ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

But now, an international team of scientists has created the first map showing every neuron and connection in an adult brain. This 'wiring diagram', created by the FlyWire Consortium, reveals each of ...

The team then analyzed the brain activity patterns in the seconds preceding their response. The brains of individuals who reported blank minds showed a distinct signal, a pattern involving a ...

While some elements of brain rot-related behavior could fall under the umbrella of depression or burnout, Cottingham says, there's a sense that brain rot is more temporary.

Paradromics, a brain-computer-interface startup, inserted its brain implant in a person—briefly—in an early test of its technology.

What Is Neuroplasticity? Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing ...

The iPhone maker is working with startup Synchron on new brain-computer interfaces to assist people with disabilities.

A fluorescence-microscopy method for tracing neuronal connections in the brain could make connectomics studies more widely accessible for neuroscientists.
