A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique.

A male fruit fly in a laboratory chamber extends his wings and vibrates them to produce his species' version of a love song.

As with Project X — our first successful attempt at MIT to artificially control memories in the rodent brain — all we had to do was hit a button that would turn our lasers on and optogenetically ...

Studies show that even gentle post-meal movement can influence blood sugar control and gut-brain signaling, helping the body process nutrients more efficiently.

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

For decades, neurology treated the brain like a black box, nudging it with drugs and hoping symptoms would ease. Now researchers are learning to adjust the brain’s own electrical language with far ...

Neuroplasticity is real: Your brain is constantly changing and can form new neural connections throughout your life. Stress is a blocker: Chronic stress inhibits the brain’s ability to adapt and ...

Neuroscientists are striving to give a voice to people unable to speak in a fast-advancing quest to harness brainwaves to restore or enhance physical abilities. Researchers at universities across ...

Blood vessels in the brain are highly interconnected and efficient in actively regulating blood flow. Yet, the mechanisms that regulate flow are not well studied on a holistic level. To determine how ...
