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

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

The role for which a dog was bred—say retrieving birds—is reflected in their brain structure, according to a study of 33 breeds.

Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring ...

Consciousness has long been described as one of science's toughest puzzles. Researchers still do not fully understand how physical brain tissue gives ...

Neuropathic pain, caused by injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system, is a major clinical challenge and often ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of the brain.

Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of ...

Some of us remember having more energy in our 20s. We could work late, sleep badly, have a night out, recover quickly and ...
