Bursts of brain rhythms with 'beta' frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. Studying these bursts would improve understanding of ...

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

Self-harming and self-sabotaging behaviors, from skin picking to ghosting people, all stem from evolutionary survival mechanisms, according to a compelling new psychological analysis. Clinical ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Scientists applied ChatGPT architecture to an AI model, allowing it to recognize about 1,300 previously unknown brain regions, and greatly expanding the current brain map. This precise representation ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Using nano-MIND technology, higher-order brain functions such as emotions, sociability, and survival instincts in animals can be freely regulated through selective control of specific neurons and ...

Scientists are closing in on the brain’s internal circuitry for hunger, revealing a surprisingly precise “off switch” that can shut down cravings in real time. Instead of a single magic button, they ...

The brain can direct the immune system to an unexpected degree, capable of detecting, ramping up, and tamping down inflammation, according to a new study, “A body–brain circuit that regulates body ...

Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on an adjustable timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause ...
