Neurons in a key area of the brain have different functions based on their exact genetic identity, and understanding this diversity could lead to better understanding of the brain’s computational flexibility and memory capacity, potentially informing d…

Researchers have recorded pain-related data from inside the brain of individuals with chronic pain disorders caused by stroke or amputation (phantom limb pain). A long sought-after goal has been to understand how pain is represented by brain activity a…

A study found changes in patients’ brain activity along with improved depression and anxiety symptoms after using Lumen.

With full genetic control and visibility into neural activity and behavior, scientists map out chemical’s role in behavior.

Fresh insights into the spread of damaging proteins that build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease could hold the key to stopping the condition progressing, a study says.

The difficult-to-treat brain cancer glioblastoma steals a person’s mental faculties as it spreads, yet the tumor’s insidious ability to infiltrate neighboring networks in the brain could also prove its undoing.

The touch of another person may increase levels of the ‘feelgood’ hormone oxytocin. But the context really matters. The situation impacts oxytocin levels not only in the moment, but also later.

A new study in mice and rats found that restoring certain signals in a brain region that processes smells countered depression.

Researchers have developed a zebrafish model that provides new insight into how the brain acquires essential omega-3 fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and linolenic acid (ALA), with the potential to improve understanding of lipid transp…
