Investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects. Their work suggests a new target for treating anxiety ...
For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...
The brain’s white matter connections are thought to provide the structural basis for its functional connections between distant brain regions but how our brain selects the best structural routes for ...
A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.
Traditional brain scans only show part of the picture. They can’t fully capture how different regions of the brain communicate—an essential factor in detecting neurological diseases early. Dr. Rahul ...
Sleep patterns, physical activity, mood, and heart rate can affect brain connectivity in the short and longer term, results of a unique precision brain mapping study suggested. Investigators found ...
