From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between ...

Brain-imaging data collected from fetuses and infants has revealed a rapid surge in functional connectivity between brain regions on a global scale at birth, possibly reflecting neural processes that ...

This functional MRI image of a human brain illustrates the connection between the insula (smaller brain image) and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (larger brain image) as a result of cognitive ...

A new study fundamentally challenges how fMRI data are interpreted, finding no valid coupling between oxygen content measured by MRI and neuronal activity.

Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...

For centuries, meditation has been lauded for its ability to cultivate inner peace and reduce stress. However, contemporary neuroscience is now uncovering the remarkable ways in which this practice ...

A new study suggests that taking a two-hour nap during a night shift may help restore brain function and memory in nurses.

Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection? Research from UCLA and Dartmouth suggests that our brains recognize ...
