Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, ...

For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in Nature Neuroscience fundamentally challenges the ...

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new study has introduced a method that does exactly this—not just by looking at ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD arise when the brain struggles to separate important signals from irrelevant noise. At any ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory ...

New research suggests that the way brain networks reorganize moment-to-moment predicts autism severity. Children who spent ...
