Neuroscience has proven that our brains has a hidden "sixth sense" that helps us to adapt to seeing the world without sight ...

Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

While participants made these choices, the research team applied transcranial alternating current stimulation to the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. This non-invasive stimulation was designed ...

A new study has identified specific cellular machinery that helps brain cells dispose of toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. By screening thousands of genes in lab-grown human neurons, ...

Neural network models that are able to make decisions or store memories have long captured scientists' imaginations. In these models, a hallmark of the computation being performed by the network is ...

This year is the centennial of the discovery of human brain waves. Few people know the story of that startling finding, because the true story was suppressed and lost to history. Almost two decades ...

Scientists have discovered how to make people less selfish - slightly and temporarily - by stimulating two areas of the brain.

Nothing teaches us how the brain works like neurosurgery, maintains Theodore Schwartz, MD, of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. "We tend to think about neuroscientists, neurologists, and ...
