When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal circuits below the injury is interrupted, resulting in paralysis. Because the brain is ...
A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...
The large red blob (left) indicates an increase in the timing, or synchronization, between brain waves measured over the medial frontal cortex and right lateral prefrontal cortex. This enhanced timing ...
What researchers found: Brain scans revealed that borderline traits are linked to disrupted activity when ignoring angry faces during problem-solving tasks. Why it matters: These disruptions may ...
Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...
On neuroscience’s big stage Nov. 15, MIT Professor Earl K. Miller will propose that thought and consciousness emerge from the fast and flexible organization of the cortex produced by the analog ...

Your brain stays electrically active during sleep, sometimes more than when you are awake
Sleep strips away consciousness, but it does not shut the brain down. PET imaging of 37 volunteers has shown that regional ...
Maintaining cognitive function and memory is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced world. Many individuals seek effective, accessible solutions to combat cognitive decline and enhance their ...
The brain of a dozing cat is recognizable by its production of what we call alpha waves. The human brain is also capable of producing such waves, for example when we lie relaxing in the grass with our ...
