Mayo Clinic researchers have created a detailed map of the pulvinar, a deep brain region that could help doctors more precisely target brain stimulation therapies for people with drug-resistant ...

For decades, neuroscientists have known that specific regions in the brain's left hemisphere are responsible for processing language. However, a new study by MIT researchers shows that language ...

(Katlowitz et al., Nature, 2026, color adjusted) Our brains might be more alert when unconscious than we realized. A new study of brain cells in the hippocampus shows that people under general anesthe ...

The human brain is a complex organ consisting of billions of neurons and several specialized parts, each playing a vital role in various bodily functions. Understanding these parts, such as the ...

The parts of the brain that are needed to remember words, and how these are affected by a common form of epilepsy, have been identified by a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at UCL. The new ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

Our bodies constantly work to maintain balance, not by staying the same, but by actively predicting needs. The central nervous system (CNS) monitors the body's status through internal signals, a ...

A team of neurologists, bioengineers and radiologists has found that two neurons in the human brain that code for dopamine production have to work harder than similar cells in primate relatives. The ...
