A new study provides new evidence that sensory stimulation of a gamma-frequency brain rhythm may promote broad-based restorative neurological health response.

Serotonin neurons in the brainstem are not independent, as once thought, but interact to influence decision-making.

Major scientific discoveries can arise from simple decisions: say, by simply looking where virtually no one else has. Such ...

In a new study, researchers have found that mice can instinctively exhibit rescue-like behavior toward anesthetized ...

“On day 1, the brain doesn’t represent the space very well,” says research scientist Wei Guo, the study’s lead author.

When mice encounter an unfamiliar food, neurons in a brain region called the amygdala light up (blue). If the mice start feeling sick after the meal, the same neurons get reinforced to help the mouse ...

A massive, multi-year project led by over 150 scientists has produced the most detailed map yet of how visual information ...
