A new needle-thin brain implant can record neural activity, deliver drugs, and stimulate multiple brain regions using a single flexible fiber. Successful tests in mice suggest it could give scientists ...

Learning can change how the brain organizes sensory information, but researchers are still working out what those changes ...

A new study has revealed how both reduced neural activity and reduced control over neural activity in the brain's prefrontal ...

Using a video game involving bombs and treasure chests, researchers show how neural activity flickers between two regions of ...

Scientists reconstructed videos from the brain activity of mice, producing 10-second clips based only on signals from neurons ...

Neuroscientists and medical researchers now have a wide range of imaging techniques to study the brain and its activity. One ...

When we tell a dog "no" and it resists temptation, what happens in its brain? New research from the Department of Ethology at ...

Intracranial recordings reveal oppositely tuned activity in the medial and lateral regions of the human orbitofrontal cortex during approach–avoidance decisions: the medial orbital sulcus activates ...

What happens in the brain when thoughts, perceptions and other everyday mental activity become very quiet, while we remain ...

Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as ...

New research indicates that the long-term neurological impact of childhood trauma is not permanently etched onto the brain. An analysis of brain communication patterns in a group of individuals who ...

Understanding the brain requires tools that can follow neural activity across many scales: from millisecond electrical spikes in individual neurons to brain-wide circuit dynamics that change over ...
