Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

A recent study conducted by researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) reveals insights into the functioning of the visual cortex of macaques. The findings, published in Cell Reports, ...

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 ...

But many scientists still believe that the scientific keys to the kingdom of consciousness are within reach. Lately, some are ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
