Brain-imaging data collected from fetuses and infants has revealed a rapid surge in functional connectivity between brain regions on a global scale at birth, possibly reflecting neural processes that ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

Researchers created the most detailed map of the brain's functional networks using data from people watching movies, including "Inception," "Home Alone" and "Erin Brokovich." When you purchase through ...

There is a natural decline in sociability as a result of aging influenced by brain changes, new research shows. “Our study suggests that age-related changes in the functional wiring of the brain may ...

To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Integrated structural and functional MRI identifies brain-based biomarkers that distinguish active from remissive Crohn’s ...

"Our work is the first attempt to get a layout of different areas and networks of the brain during naturalistic conditions," says first author and neuroscientist Reza Rajimehr of Massachusetts ...

Stress influences what we learn and remember. The hormone cortisol, which is released during stressful situations, can make emotional memories in particular stronger. But how exactly does cortisol ...
