Researchers develop innovative model to study sense of smell

Scientists at Tufts have created a powerful 3D model of nasal tissue that reveals surprising new insights into how our sense of smell regenerates and why it sometimes fades. Contrary to past assumptions, a supposedly inactive type of stem cell called H…

Decades-old assumptions about brain plasticity upended

Your brain doesn t just send messages through one universal route it uses separate pathways for spontaneous activity and signals linked to learning. These findings overturn a major neuroscience assumption and reveal how the brain maintains stability wh…

Clinical research on psychedelics gets a boost from new study

As psychedelics gain traction as potential treatments for mental health disorders, an international study stands to improve the rigor and reliability of clinical research.

Brain training game offers new hope for drug-free pain management

A trial of an interactive game that trains people to alter their brain waves has shown promise as a treatment for nerve pain — offering hope for a new generation of drug-free treatments.

Attachment theory: A new lens for understanding human-AI relationships

Human-AI interactions are well understood in terms of trust and companionship. However, the role of attachment and experiences in such relationships is not entirely clear. In a new breakthrough, researchers from Waseda University have devised a novel s…

Dancing brainwaves: How sound reshapes your brain networks in real time

Listening to sound doesn t just trigger brain activity it reshapes your brain s internal networks in real time. Scientists have unveiled a powerful new imaging method, FREQ-NESS, that traces how different sound frequencies ripple through brain regions …

Immune system discovery reveals potential solution to Alzheimer’s

A new way of thinking about Alzheimer’s disease has yielded a discovery that could be the key to stopping the cognitive decline seen in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS and Parkinson’s.

Sustained in the brain: How lasting emotions arise from brief stimuli, in humans and mice

Humans and mice share persistent brain-activity patterns in response to adverse sensory experience, scientists find, opening a window to our emotions and, perhaps, neuropsychiatric disorders.

Mindfulness and brain stimulation could reduce bladder leaks

A new study suggests that mindfulness training and/or non-invasive brain stimulation could reduce bladder leaks and feelings of urgency in patients with ‘latchkey incontinence.’

How does coffee affect a sleeping brain?

Coffee can help you stay awake. But what does caffeine actually do to your brain once you’re asleep? Using AI, a team of researchers has an answer: it affects the brain’s ‘criticality’.
