Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have created the first detailed map showing how genetic activity is controlled in individual cells of the adult human brain and spinal cord. The study, published ...

One of the two participants wrote words up to a speed similar to an able-bodied person texting on a smartphone ...

The human brain contains more connections between neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way. Decoding the electrical activity behind all those cells is the massive task that excites neural ...

New research suggests that psilocybin shifts the brain from a relaxed state into a highly engaged pattern of rapid electrical ...

You default to typing because it’s faster, more convenient, and digitally organized. But what if speed is costing you ...

A mouse study highlights the role of acetylcholine in behavioral flexibility, offering new insight into the brain mechanisms involved in addiction and obsessive compulsive disorder.

By scanning brains while people actively took intelligence tests, neuroscientists discovered that high test scores are linked ...

Functional connectivity reveals brain attractors that match predictions of free‑energy‑minimizing attractor theory, yielding an interpretable generative model of brain dynamics in rest, task, and ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

For most of my professional life I have thought about air pollution through the organs I know best. As a heart and lung surgeon, I spent decades studying how polluted air damages lungs, damages the ...

A new “magic mushroom” compound may deliver psychedelic brain benefits without the trip.

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the living human brain, offering unprecedented insight into the molecular ...
