Neuroscientific advances follow a pattern of visualizing the brain, measuring its function and then controlling it.

Whether speaking, driving or playing an instrument, nearly everything we do requires precise control over the timing of our ...

BrainGate study finds motor cortex observational activity scales with how human-like an action looks, revealing distributed ...

When mothers do not have the necessary resources to raise their children, this adversity causes substantial stress that can ...

A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity deep within the brain could transform our understanding of neural circuits ...

A study provides new details about how the brain’s motor cortex reacts when people watch actions by agents that may appear ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

A new study reveals that specialized brain cells called orexin neurons act as an effort-tracking system. By firing when a reward is expected, these cells help the brain decide if a goal is actually ...

When mothers do not have the necessary resources to raise their children, this adversity causes a great amount of stress that can hinder caregiving ...

Smaller plastic particles have more effects on neurons, the key information processing cells of the brain, new research from the University of Eastern Finland shows. In the study, neuronal cells were ...
