To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

Neuroscientists are finding that when two people interact, their brains do not work in isolation. Instead, patterns of activity in one brain begin to mirror patterns in another, hinting that human ...

Brain–computer interfaces are technologies that enable direct communication between brain activity and external devices, enabling researchers to monitor and interpret brain signals in real time. These ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...
