Scientists zeroed in on brain circuitry powering the desire of spiny mice to live in large groups, opening the door to a new model for the study of complex social behaviors in mammals.

Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated ‘molecular markers’ — observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks — that are shared by several forms of dementia that affect different regions of the brain. Cri…

A study found that new monoclonal antibody drugs for Alzheimer’s may slow cognitive impairment through boosting levels of a specific protein in the brain.

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research shows that decision-making is a global process across the brain that is coordinated by learning. The findings could aid…

With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a single measurement in a living brain.

Researchers have published a novel study exploring the effects of delayed feedback on learning in individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of delayed vs. immediate performance feedback…

Scientists have developed a new AI algorithm that can separate brain patterns related to a particular behavior. This work promises to improve brain-computer interfaces and aid with the discovery of new brain patterns.

New research has found that lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in unusually accelerated brain maturation in adolescents. This maturation was more pronounced in females.

Young people with chronic pain are three times more likely than their peers to also have clinical anxiety or depression, a new review has found.

Investigators studying the nature of consciousness have successfully used a drug to identify the intricate brain geometry behind the unconscious state, offering an unprecedented look at brain structures that have traditionally been difficult to study.
