Scientists have long struggled to define brain fog—let alone pinpoint a cause for it. But research is starting to reveal multiple potential causes from inflammation to a leaky blood-brain barrier.

A new study sheds new light on these big questions, illuminating a general principle of neural processing in a mysterious region of the midbrain that is the very origin of our central serotonin (5-HT) ...

Our lives are filled with binary decisions—choices between one of two alternatives. But what's really happening inside our ...

Heavy drinking is associated with increased risk of a type of brain injury linked with memory and thinking problems. That’s according to a new study in which researchers defined heavy drinking ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 ...

When we “see” a combination of blue and red wavelengths, the brain bends the visual spectrum into a circle that joins blue and red at the point of purple. You might be today years old when you ...

Scientists have recreated in a laboratory the sensory pathway that transmits feelings of pain to the human brain, in a breakthrough that could lead to better treatments. A team at Stanford ...

Allen Institute researchers Leila Elabbady and Clay Reid examine brain mapping data from the MICrONS project. (Allen Institute Photo) Researchers say they’ve accomplished a feat that was said to ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with ...

The largest and most comprehensive 3D map of a mammalian brain to date offers an unprecedented insight into how neurons connect and function. The new map, which captures a cubic millimetre of a ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date—a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.
