An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

New research indicates that the long-term neurological impact of childhood trauma is not permanently etched onto the brain.

Measuring neurofilament light chain levels 48 hours after cardiac arrest can predict long-term cognitive impairment, outperforming current standard blood tests. This biomarker offers a new way for ...

A growing body of neuroscience research is challenging a basic assumption about how the brain produces awareness. Where conventional theories treat consciousness as a product of neuronal firing alone, ...

It has long been known as the arbiter of reward in the brain, but recent findings could upend this classic theory of dopamine ...

Researchers identify a brain pathway in humans that enables rapid, unconscious fear responses to scary sounds, similar to ...

SAN DIEGO — Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of neuroscience, enabling scientific breakthroughs previously out of reach. New applications of AI and machine learning techniques ...

A new study found that precise application of radio waves can change the activity of brain cells in ways that could counter neurological conditions.

This brain training hack is literally for the birds, says a new study. Neuroscientists have found birding is actually a brain hack. A new study published in JNeurosci, the Journal of Neuroscience ...

Chronic sleep deprivation can harm brain health and lead to neurocognitive decline. Here's how lack of sleep affects memory, ...

A small region of the brain, known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), plays a key role in how we process rewards. It produces dopamine, a neuromodulator that helps predict future rewards based on ...
