Using a novel probe for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), biological engineers have devised a way to monitor individual populations of neurons and reveal how they interact with each other.

Researchers found that blood pressure medications have an unanticipated effect on the brain.

Many people impacted by COVID-19 experienced changes in their sense of smell, taste, hearing, balance and in some cases, tinnitus, ‘ringing’ in the ears. Among the various causes of tinnitus is stress. What’s unclear, however, is whether the psychologi…

Researchers are simultaneously recording populations of neurons across brain areas in the visual system and utilizing novel statistical methods to observe neural activity patterns being conveyed.

A ubiquitous protein called sigma 1 receptor, which is known to protect cells from stress, appears key to the function and survival of the neurons most impacted by glaucoma, scientists report.

New research has revealed a key neural mechanism underlying the feeling of being unable to stop eating, the most salient aspect of binge episodes in eating disorders like bulimia nervosa.

Whether they’re getting a new shirt, a new computer, or taking a trip, people derive less ‘purchase happiness’ from buying things when they feel financial stress, new research shows.

Scientists have developed a new technique that uses microscopic magnetic particles to remotely activate brain cells; researchers say the discovery in rats could potentially lead to the development of a new class of non-invasive therapies for neurologic…

Among people with no memory or thinking problems, having a poor score on a simple memory test may be linked to biomarkers in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease as well as very early signs of memory impairment that precede dementia by several…

Researchers have determined that a gene linked to feeling touch may moonlight as an olfactory gene. That’s the conclusion drawn from studying a very small, transparent worm that shares many similarities with the human nervous system.
