How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It explores how physical components, such as neurons and their connections, give rise ...

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Your brain consumes about 20% of your body’s total oxygen supply, making it incredibly dependent on efficient breathing patterns for optimal function. Most people never think about how they breathe, ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to ...

Sora Shin, a Virginia Tech assistant professor with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, will study how brain circuits contribute to aggressive behavior with a $3.2 million grant from the ...
