A new research by Newcastle University published in the journal PNAS has found that just like our skin over time, brain's folding is subject to aging via a loss of elasticity.
Imagine being in an accident that leaves you unable to feel any sensation in your arms and fingers. Now imagine regaining that sensation, a decade later, through a mind-controlled robotic arm that is directly connected to your brain.
A Duke team has mapped the distinct patterns of brain activity that correspond to seven different emotional states. The team says they can see various emotional states flickering across the human brain.
People were able to calm activity in the amygdala after seeing visual cues that responded to their mental processes.
Technology for reading signals directly from the brain could provide a way for people with movement disabilities to communicate.
Tiny magnetic particles from air pollution have for the first time been discovered to be lodged in human brains– and researchers think they could be a possible cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
With a year of intense brain training, eight paraplegics regained partial sensation and voluntary control of their paralyzed body areas, despite having spinal cord injuries that were previously diagnosed as irreversible.
Neuroscientists have identified the neural networks that connect the cerebral cortex to the adrenal medulla, which is responsible for the body's rapid response in stressful situations. These findings provide evidence for the neural basis of a mind-body connection.
Scientists from Oxford University and UCL have identified part of our brain that helps us learn to be good to other people. The subgenual anterior cingulate part of the brain seems to be especially tuned to benefiting other people.
A novel PET radiotracer is able for the first time to reveal epigenetic activity - the process that determines whether or not genes are expressed -within the human brain.
A team of neuroscientists, computer specialists and engineers release what they say could be the most accurate map yet of the brain, discovering 100 new regions of the brain in the process.
Human intelligence is being defined and measured for the first time ever. The more variable a brain is, and the more its different parts frequently connect with each other, the higher a person's IQ and creativity are.
The immune system affects - and even controls - social behavior, a new study has found. The discovery could have enormous implications for neurological conditions such as autism and schizophrenia.
A new technique preps donor neural stem cells and grafts them into an older brain. Could it someday be possible to replace brain cells and restore memory?
Brain-like machines with human-like abilities to solve problems could become a reality, researchers say.
