New research shows a simple reason why even the most intelligent, complex brains can be taken by a swindler’s story—one that, upon a second look, offers clues it was false. When the brain fires up the ...

Researchers have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain requires fast neural signal processing in a short period of ...

The Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) in the Institute of Basic Science (IBS), Suwon, Korea, is developing new neuroimaging approaches to explore biophysics, physiology, and biology, and ...

An MIT-led team built a biologically detailed AI model of the prefrontal cortex–striatum circuit that not only matched macaque learning behavior but predicted a previously unnoticed class of neurons ...

A collaborative effort between Mount Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help ...

Sleep arises from the complex coordination of large-scale brain networks and homeostatic regulatory systems. However, understanding the causal mechanisms ...

The brain exhibits a remarkable variety of organized and synchronized activity patterns, yet the mechanisms that generate these dynamics, and how their disruption contributes to neurological disease, ...

Anatomy and physiology can feel overwhelming, but the right strategies can make all the difference. Spaced repetition, active recall, and varied practice can significantly boost retention and ...
