Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cluster of brain cells that may help explain differences in social behavior ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

At the turn of the 20th century, Korbinian Brodmann released one of the most consequential brain maps ever. By studying the humps, grooves, layers, and cells of the cortex—the outermost layer of the ...

Brain scans show a spot in the cerebellum attuned specifically to words, expanding on studies that point to the region's ...

Scientists have discovered that a part of the brain may be behind high blood pressure. The lateral parafacial region sits in ...

An AI-produced rendering shows a map of mouse brain regions, overlaid with network motifs. (UCSF Illustration) Scientists say an artificial intelligence program that they compare to ChatGPT has helped ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Background: Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in ...

Machine learning decodes brain signals for paralysis recovery in just one second using sensors placed on scalp not inside ...
