Neuroscientists have set up computer frameworks that can help model individual brain dynamics.

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

A groundbreaking brain implant has empowered a 69-year-old paralyzed man to steer a virtual drone solely with his thoughts, ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other. So-called GABA A receptors are proteins that control the flow ...

Research led by Jia Zhou in the Hibbs Lab at UC San Diego has mapped the structures of human brain receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA. The team obtained samples from epilepsy patients undergoing ...

When we touch something hot or cold, the temperature is consciously sensed. Previous studies have shown that the cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is responsible for thermal sensations.

Personalised brain models reveal how brainwaves shape cognition and offer insights into neural dynamics and clinical advances ...

Stanford Medicine scientists are generating a periodic table of sorts for psychiatric disorders, providing a better ...

The last several decades produced revolutionary advances in two areas: identifying neuronal processes responsible for intelligence and designing machine ...

However, we currently lack an understanding of how patterns of ongoing thoughts map onto the different brain systems when we watch a film, partly because methods of sampling experience disrupt the ...
