Scientists recorded the brain's sleep switch firing in real time - and the feedback loop they uncovered reshapes what we know about deep sleep.

Scientists watched the brain’s sleep switch fire in real time — and the feedback loop they found changes how we understand ...

UC Berkeley just mapped the brain circuit behind your nightly growth hormone surge - here's why your first 3 hours of sleep matter.

Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete.

Scientists used a tool called SynTrogo to edit brain circuits in mice, showing that trimming select synapses can make ...

According to Deco, this model not only allows a brain to be digitally reproduced but it "provides far better information for predicting diseases and symptoms than traditional measures". As reported by ...

Fluorescent images of a key brain circuit involved in placebo pain relief in mice. Pain-regulating neurons located in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) are labeled in green, with their ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers find that a single exercise session increases brain activity tied to memory, offering new insight into how movement ...

New research in mice from scientists at New York University Langone Health (NYU Langone Health) and their colleagues elsewhere identifies brain circuits that make memories more stable during learning.

A comprehensive review of neuroscience research suggests the human brain does not have a dedicated math module. Instead, it repurposes spatial and language circuits for numerical tasks, supporting the ...

Even the simplest networks of neurons in the brain are composed of millions of connections, and examining these vast networks is critical to understanding how the brain works. An international team of ...
