Sleep disruption appeared early and then plateaued even as amyloid levels increased. The study also identified brain-wave patterns that could eventually support simpler, noninvasive screening approaches. Credit: Shutterstock Brain immune…

A study reveals a link between post-concussion headaches and increased brain iron levels, suggesting potential as a biomarker for understanding these conditions. Analyzing individuals with mild traumatic brain injuries against…

…where multiple areas of the brain are responsible for aspects of spiritual experiences. Scientists have speculated that the human brain features a “God spot,” one distinct area of the brain…

…of the NIH’s Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative – Cell Census Network (BICCN) — to study more than 3.4 million brain cells from donors who died at…

Despite the long-held belief that brain wiring is largely fixed by adolescence, a recent study reveals that changes in sensory experience can cause significant rewiring of the brain even in…

The researchers used brain imaging to explore other brain regions affected by sgACC over-activity during threat. Over-activation of sgACC increased activity within the amygdala and hypothalamus, two key parts of…

Scientists demonstrate the safety of opening the blood-brain barrier non-invasively with an ultrasound device, a potential new avenue for treating brain disease. Using an FDA-approved contrasting agent containing tiny gas-filled…

…by the strength of neural pathways connecting the left lateral prefrontal cortex to the rest of the brain. Published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the findings establish “global brain connectivity”…

…in the stomach does induce brain activity changes in lean people, such brain responses are largely diminished in people with obesity. These differences in brain activity, the researchers say, could…

…of brain rhythms to coordinate and organize information processing in the brain is what enables functional cognition to emerge at that scale, the authors write. Understanding cognition in the brain,…

…the brain. In addition to repairing the blood-brain barrier, the team believes the copper treatment may also stimulate microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells. These cells could help break down…

A decades-long study suggests that sustained calorie restriction may influence how the brain ages at the cellular level. By analyzing individual brain cells, researchers found that reduced caloric intake was…

…differences in cognitive function observed between the two groups were accompanied by differences in brain activity. Functional MRI (fMRI) brain imaging analyses showed that children who played video games for…

…aligned with brain characteristics typically seen in lower-risk individuals. Credit: Shutterstock New noninvasive tools reveal that subtle shifts in brain blood flow and oxygen use may mirror key markers of…

…neurons physically reproduce the analog processes of biological neurons. In the same way that neurochemicals trigger brain activity, specific chemicals can now be used to initiate computation in brain-inspired, or…

Researchers have identified a brain mechanism that may determine why chronic pain leads to depression in some individuals but not others. The findings suggest the brain initially adapts to persistent…

…and guides responses. The frontoparietal cortex, the brain’s information hub, helps coordinate responses when circumstances change. While driving, for example, the brain must draw on a remembered route and the…

…that one specific area of the zebrafish brain was central to the effect on sleep pressure: a brain area that is comparable to a human brain area found in the…
