When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use "awake brain mapping" to minimize the risk of causing unintended disruptions to a patient's quality of life while removing as much ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...

A unique study imaging brain activity in children born with upper limb difference – for example, one hand – has shown the amazing ability of the brain to adapt to compensate and support their daily ...

EPFL researchers have developed a powerful method to generate brain-wide, biologically realistic wiring maps of the mouse brain. Their approach bridges experimental data with mathematical and ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

Motion created by eye movements helps the brain judge distance and movement in 3D space, offering new insights into how stable vision works.
