Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cluster of brain cells that may help explain differences in social behavior ...

Meet the Kraken, a massive disorientation device used to train astronauts for long space missions. We introduce viewers to the Kraken, a massive disorientation device housed on Wright Patterson ...

Avian species have become important model organisms in behavioral neuroscience due to their capacity for complex cognitive functions supported by ...

How do we hear, and how does hearing affect how we play music? These questions are central to the work of Nikolas Alejandro ...

For decades, neuroscientists have developed mathematical frameworks to explain how brain activity drives behavior in predictable, repetitive scenarios, such as while playing a game. These algorithms ...

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 ...

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level of physical activity. Astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus region of the ...

Over the past decades, some lawyers have started using brain imaging scans as evidence during criminal trials, to provide a possible explanation for the criminal behavior of defendants. This was ...
