The brain is made up of distinct regions, each responsible for different functions. Keeping these areas healthy is essential ...

Communication between regions of the brain is constantly in flux, but the neuroimaging technologies used to analyze these interactions typically provide only a snapshot representing several minutes’ ...

Love might feel like it comes from the heart, but scientists have figured out where love lives inside the brain. Researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity ...

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...

Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist Hans Berger observes rhythmic electrical activity from the scalp of human subjects. He is convinced ...

Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...

Writing out the same word again and again in cursive may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are implicated in learning and ...

A thin film that combines an electrode grid and LEDs can both track and produce a visual representation of the brain's activity in real-time during surgery -- a huge improvement over the current state ...
