The human brain and body are intricate systems that have been fine-tuned over millions of years to prioritize survival. One of the ways they achieve this is by favoring the status quo, or what is ...

The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest breakthroughs suggest the brain’s private code is finally yielding. Researchers are not ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a much quieter conversation. Now a set of new tools is letting researchers ...

Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates is a documentary series that delves deep into Bill Gates’ personal life and work, exploring the behind-the-scenes actions behind his achievements. Season 1 ...

Aging is a complex biological process that also takes place in the brain. Researchers have discovered that the gene activity changes in different cell types in the brain. A certain type of neuron is ...

First, the data was independently segmented into quintiles (5 levels) for self-relevance and valence based on participant’s ratings. Next, time points (TRs) were assigned according to the levels of ...

Within the brain, chemical neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine regulate mood, emotions and many physiological and behavioral processes. Their imbalance can contribute to anxiety, ...

For years, scientists have studied how the brain controls movement by asking patients to perform structured tasks while connected to multiple sensors in a lab. While these studies have provided ...

"Understanding brain mechanisms controlling water and salt intake behaviors is not only a significant discovery in the fields of neuroscience and physiology, but also contributes valuable insights to ...

Neural mechanisms underlying the regulation of thirst and salt appetite upon ingestion, remain unclear. Now, researchers have conducted experiments on genetically engineered mice and found distinct ...
