Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

"How does the brain distinguish glucose from the many nutrients absorbed in the gut?" In a groundbreaking study, a research team at KAIST has uncovered a gut-brain circuit that enables the brain to ...

Anxiety is often described as a whole‑brain problem, but a series of mouse experiments suggests that, in some cases, a single ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Your brain is constantly juggling information that arrives in a flash with thoughts that unfold over seconds, minutes, or ...

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that ...

MRI scans reveal frequent action gamers show measurable differences in brain structure, which may help explain links found in earlier studies between gaming, attention, and visuospatial skills. Study: ...

Night-migratory songbirds can use geomagnetic information to navigate over thousands of kilometres with great precision. A crucial part of the magnetic ‘map’ information used by night-migratory ...

Neuroscience shows traditional teaching is not enough. Instead, an experiential approach can return learning to its natural ...
