How do worms navigate? A new study maps the whole-brain circuit of C. elegans, revealing how neurons and the chemical tyramine coordinate purposeful movement toward odors.

Objectives: Brain‒computer interfaces (BCI) are currently used in clinical studies but mostly rely on population level signals that limit their precision, facing challenges of interpretability and ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into “what” and “where/when” using two different groups of neurons.

Here's a surprise coming from sports science: improvements in endurance don't depend solely on muscles or the heart, but also ...

A single week of intensive meditation and mind-body practices led to measurable changes across the brain and body. Researchers observed improved brain efficiency, boosted immune signaling, and ...

At the core of neuronal communication lie action potentials, brief, rapid electrical impulses that travel down the axon to transmit information for brain function. Abnormalities in neuron firing are ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Researchers headed by a team at the University of Pennsylvania have found that exercise does more than strengthen muscles, it also rewires the brain. Studying mice, the investigators discovered that ...

Where does imagination come from? A new fMRI study in Neuron reveals that mental imagery emerges from the brain's association ...
