Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest ...

The human brain and body are intricate systems that have been fine-tuned over millions of years to prioritize survival. One of the ways they achieve this is by favoring the status quo, or what is ...

Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers examine neural networks in the left language-dominant hemisphere responsible for semantic integration using intracranial recordings in ...

Neural mechanisms underlying the regulation of thirst and salt appetite upon ingestion, remain unclear. Now, researchers have conducted experiments on genetically engineered mice and found distinct ...

First, the data was independently segmented into quintiles (5 levels) for self-relevance and valence based on participant’s ratings. Next, time points (TRs) were assigned according to the levels of ...

Within the brain, chemical neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine regulate mood, emotions and many physiological and behavioral processes. Their imbalance can contribute to anxiety, ...
