…help explain the mystical experiences reported during psychedelic use and offer insights into its therapeutic potential for the treatment of mental health disorders. Dynamic Brain Connectivity Researchers utilized brain imaging…
…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…
…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…
…palliative to preventive treatments for metastatic brain cancer. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A new study has discovered a method to prevent the spread of cancer to the brain by inhibiting the enzyme…
This image shows densely accumulated dendritic spines. Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic “hotspot” that forms during adolescence, challenging the long-held view that adolescent brain development is…
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…
…research, facilitating studies on brain functions and disorders. The updated cortical surface template enhances the mapping of brain activity. The human brain plays a vital role in managing essential functions…
The brain images (pictured) illustrate how the brain representations of a social interaction, “to hug” in this example, differ between neurotypical and autistic participants. The image on the left shows…
…impacts on the function of brain regions involved in both conditions. A key finding is that this genetic deletion disrupts a brain area known as the thalamus, compromising its ability…
…assays, and in vivo microdialysis, a technique used to sample molecules in the living brain. When TIMP2 was removed, microglia developed features commonly linked to aging and brain injury. The…
…Imbalance of Excitatory and Inhibitory Brain Activity The interconnected mesh of cells that constitutes the human brain contains specialized “excitatory” cells that stimulate electrical activity, balanced by “inhibitory” brain cells…
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…
