Neuroscience shows that our brains aren't wired to sustain high-intensity work over long periods of time. Many leaders describe feeling like they are caught in a whirlwind of constant doing—without a ...

New research shows that the superior colliculus, a primitive brain region, can independently interpret visual information.

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their ...

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes ...

Somdip is the Chief Scientist of Nosh Technologies, an MIT Innovator Under 35 and a Professor of Practice (AI/ML) at the Woxsen University. This may sound like science fiction, but the convergence of ...

Researchers have identified a promising new strategy for treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). A novel study found that the dopamine-boosting drug tolcapone increases activity in the prefrontal cortex ...

Psychedelics—frequently recognized as substances such as LSD, psilocybin, and DMT—not only alter perception, mood, and cognition, but they often cause hallucinations. That said, they have also been ...

This study, published July 28 in the journal Nature Communications, is the first to map out the pathway for sensing colder temperatures, starting from the skin and ending in the brain. The research ...

A newly mapped neural circuit shows how our skin senses cool temperatures and sends that info to the brain, revealing an unexpected amplifier in the spinal cord and offering insight into cold-related ...

4K resolution loopable animation centered around a conceptual artificial intelligence brain chip. The composition features a CPU-like neural engine surrounded by symmetrical, glowing circuit lines and ...

Because unpleasant withdrawal symptoms fuel nicotine addiction’s high relapse rate, targeting their underlying mechanisms with treatments may promote continued abstinence from the drug. In a new ...

For decades, medical understanding of Parkinson’s disease focused exclusively on the brain, specifically the death of dopamine-producing neurons that control movement. This narrow view shaped ...
