A meta-analysis of 36 studies showed 415 brain coordinates activated by creative tasks. Coordinates suggested a common brain circuit defined by negative functional connectivity to the right frontal ...

Vision feels like a camera feed from the eyes, but new work on a hidden brain circuit suggests what we see is constantly edited by internal signals about how alert, focused, or distracted we are.

Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using this approach, they were able to trace connections among thousands of ...

Over the past decades, neuroscience studies have painted an increasingly detailed picture of the human brain, its organization and how it supports various functions. To plan and execute desired ...

A comprehensive new review published in the journal Science China Life Sciences synthesizes decades of research to explain how anxiety and depression arise from a complex interplay of genetic ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

You’ve probably noticed it yourself: As a teenager, you chased thrills headlong—late-night parties, first dates, impulsive dares—while today you hesitate before clicking “Buy,” let alone bungee ...
