Cerebrovascular diseases manifest as disruptive and deteriorating conditions, gravely impacting cognitive functions by altering the neurophysiological ...

Human navigation turns out to be less like following a static map and more like tuning a control knob inside the brain. New imaging work suggests that deep in the hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped ...

New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The ...

A recent study published in the Journal of Sleep Research suggests that people who frequently experience lucid dreams have specific physical network patterns in their brains. Scientists found that the ...

We know that football players and boxers have brain damage from repeated blows. Now brain research reveals chronic job stress causes brain damage and tips to protect it.

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

Young adults with high social anxiety show heightened activity in the brain's visual processing areas. These neural changes explain their high alertness to social threats and offer a physical marker ...

However, internal brain structures revealed important differences. Social huntsman spiders had distinctly larger brain areas called "arcuate bodies" and "mushroom bodies," both regions of the brain ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...
