A new study of high school football players found that concussions affect an often-overlooked but important brain signal.

Researchers have developed a new method called MoPEDE, which has the potential to improve epilepsy treatment. The method combines brain measurements with genetic analyses, offering deeper insights into the origins and mechanisms of epileptic seizures.

The current standard of care for psychosis is a diagnostic interview, but what if it could be diagnosed before the first symptom emerged? Researchers are pointing toward a potential biomarker in the brain that could lead to more timely interventions an…

Research shows that reward-based learning requires the two neuromodulators to balance one another’s influence — like the accelerator and brakes on a car

A groundbreaking method to profile gene activity in the living human brain has been developed. This innovative approach opens new avenues for understanding and treating neurological conditions like epilepsy.

Researchers developed an innovative approach — demonstrated in mouse models and isolated human brain tissue — to safely and effectively deliver therapeutics into the brain, providing new possibilities for treating a wide range of neurological and psy…

A loss of brain volume associated with new immunotherapies for Alzheimer’s disease may be caused by the removal of amyloid plaques, rather than the loss of neurons or brain tissue, finds a new study.

Scientists sought to better understand how humans evolved to become so skilled at thinking about what’s happening in other peoples’ minds. The findings could have implications for one day treating psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression.

While it’s well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, remain largely unexplored. A new study has nonetheless uncovered a key mechanism by whi…

Researchers have measured the brain activity of people who had never been to a specific city and then use this brain activity to predict other people’s actual visits to places around that city. This offers potential applications for urban planning and …
