Several different general anesthesia drugs knock you out by hijacking the neural circuitry that makes you fall sleep, researchers from a Duke University have found. The researchers traced this neural […]
A fundamentally new method for measuring brain function using a technology known as magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) has been discovered by investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in collaboration with […]
A new kind of body awareness training helps women recover from drug addiction, new research from the University of Washington indicates. The women made marked improvements, and many of those […]
Counterfactual thinking is causally related to a frontal part of the brain, called the anterior cingulate cortex, new research in primates has shown for the first time. Additionally, the research […]
Breathing is essential to life. At birth, the brain quickly adapts and learns to control breathing in different situations. This adaptability is called neuroplasticity. Most breathing-related adjustments in the brain […]
A new imaging technology could allow scientists to look inside cells and watch dozens of different molecules in action at once, by labeling them with short strands of barcoded DNA […]
A molecular driver of the highly aggressive, deadly, and treatment-resistant brain cancer glioblastoma has been uncovered by scientists, using cell-by-cell genetic analyses of developing brain tissues in neonatal mice and […]
When we have small wounds on our skin or muscles they can usually heal by themselves. But in deeper wounds – such as those in diabetic patients or in muscle […]
