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

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

For decades, neurology treated the brain like a black box, nudging it with drugs and hoping symptoms would ease. Now ...
