A research team has uncovered the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of pain and itch in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). This study provides new insights into how the brain distinguishes ...

Your brain isn’t stagnant; throughout your lifetime, many changes occur as a result of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors that accompany emotional, intellectual, and physical milestones, ...

Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral ...

We make countless daily decisions, some as small as picking what to eat. Some decisions, like stepping aside to avoid bumping ...

In a nutshell Simple 40-hertz light and sound stimulation can induce brain rhythms that reduce Alzheimer’s pathology and ...

Kiun, director of the Center for Cognition and Sociality within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), and KO Hyoung-Gon, professor at Kyung Hee University College of Dentistry, have uncovered the ...

Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that caused by the observer moving through it. Known as the 'motion-source ...

Researchers discovered that pain and itch are processed by separate neuronal circuits in the anterior cingulate cortex. Using ...

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new, and important or just "background noise." ...

Our results suggest that intrinsic dynamics are not substantially altered during watching movies as compared to rest. Instead, the external stimulus reverberates in the recurrent network with the same ...
