When a sound repeats steadily—like a drumbeat, a bell, or even a clock ticking—it doesn’t just echo in your ears. Deep inside ...

A study shows how a class of drugs, HDACi (histone deacetylase inhibitors), protects neurons and limits brain damage ...

Sleep disorders may lead to structural brain changes, cognitive decline, and neurological disease. Here’s what science says about the risk.

New research reveals that our brains don't just passively hear sounds - they actively reorganize their networks in real time.

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience sheds light on the structural foundations of the brain’s default mode network, a ...

Both positive and negative emotions activate the limbic system, the part of the brain involved in processing feelings and memory. Within this system, the amygdala - an almond-shaped cluster of neurons ...

Scientists believe happy crying is a form of emotional homeostasis: a way of bringing us back to equilibrium after an emotional high. Crying activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which slows ...

UC Irvine scientists developed bioluminescent RNA tags, "tiny guiding lights," using luciferase to track RNA in real-time, potentially unlocking secrets of viruses and memory formation.

The researchers emphasized that authoritarian beliefs are not solely determined by brain anatomy. Instead, the structural differences may reflect long-standing cognitive and emotional patterns that ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered into a 3D atlas that creates new possibilities for neuroscience.
