Diverse sensory and cognitive functions rely on complex and dynamic neural interactions between cortical and subcortical brain areas to coordinate incoming inputs and feedback processes, creating ...

Pippa Cossens’ agonising medical condition began with pain in her back. But soon the discomfort had spread to the muscles in her arms and legs, even her face. “At its worst, it almost felt like the ...

When we focus, switch tasks, or face tough mental challenges, the brain starts to sync its internal rhythms, especially in the midfrontal region. A new study has found that smarter individuals show ...

Neuroplasticity is the neuroscientific term for the brain's remarkable ability to change, rewire, and restructure itself over the course of our lives. This ability is highest in babies and children ...

People can think, behave and function very differently. These observed differences are known to be the result of complex interactions between genetics, neurobiological processes and life experiences.

Neuronal sequences in the medial prefrontal cortex of the brain encode critical information associated with a procedural rule. These sequences can be explored and leveraged as novel biomarkers for ...

Understanding the dynamic neural mechanisms of sleep-wake cycles is a major challenge in sleep science and neuroengineering. Sleep, essential for maintaining brain homeostasis and cognitive function, ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...
