A selection of science-based books from the year that together shine new light on who we are and why we think and act as we ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to make neural activity visible. Instead of shining light onto the brain from ...

In fast-paced project environments, effective leadership goes beyond strategy and technical skills. It requires a deep understanding of human behavior at the neurological level. The neuroscience of ...

Scientists have created a computer model that aims to mimic the human brain, hoping it might teach us about ourselves.

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers ...

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Scientists exploring how the brain responds to stress discovered molecular changes that can influence behavior long after an experience ends. They also identified natural resilience systems that help ...

In the world of medical research, few journeys feel as personal and urgent as that of Dr. Alexander W. Charney. His career began with curiosity, but patient care reshaped it into a mission. A recent ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Governments on both sides of the Atlantic are placing big new bets on the future of brain science, just as much of the pharmaceutical industry retreats from the field. Brain ...

In laboratory experiments, the team used the device to send tiny, patterned bursts of light into the brains of genetically modified mice whose neurons respond to light. The mice quickly learned to ...

If it feels like it’s harder than ever to have conversations about controversial subjects without explosive arguments, you’re not alone. “People are so trigger-happy and willing to engage in outrage ...
