A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...
The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.
A team from UNIGE has shown that neurons positioned in the wrong place can still perform their function without disrupting ...
This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...
The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...
In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the ...
Your brain is constantly juggling information that arrives in a flash with thoughts that unfold over seconds, minutes, or ...
The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...
Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral cortex, identifying 24 networks that perform specific functions. The cerebral ...
