Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

What if your brain could improve faster than you think? Here’s how a 12-week plan can boost focus, memory, and mental energy.

At the turn of the 20th century, Korbinian Brodmann released one of the most consequential brain maps ever. By studying the humps, grooves, layers, and cells of the cortex—the outermost layer of the ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

A standard glass of wine or beer does more than just relax the body; it fundamentally alters the landscape of communication within the brain. New research suggests that acute alcohol consumption ...
