A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

In the split second that is needed to view a stop sign and react to it, our brain navigates a complex process that transitions seamlessly from perception to action control. This ability to halt or ...

The brain learns through repeated exposure. Each revisit strengthens the signal between neurons, making recall faster and ...

The team made this discovery through advanced imaging techniques and electrophysiology to observe how the rodents transmitted the sensation of cool temperatures from skin to brain. "These tools have ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Guilt and shame arise from different cognitive triggers and rely on distinct neural systems to guide compensatory behavior.

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to adapt and learn in response to life experiences. It can allow you to gain new skills and recover from injury and trauma. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...
