A wearable positron emission tomography (PET) scanner that rats can wear on their heads has been developed and tested effectively.
Neurobiology research combining laser scanning and electron microscopy, novel neuroimaging techniques and neural network modeling is providing new insight into how real neural circuits may behave.
Researchers believe they have found a link between the volume of one's cerebellum and general intelligence.
Quit smoking messages were more effective when tailored toward an individual and when that individual showed greater activity in self-related...
Scientists found that the protein named reelin is deeply involved in the migration of new nerve cells to the neocortex...
Zif proteins have been found to control whether a brain stem cell differentiates into a neuron or renews as a brain stem cell. There are Zif related proteins in humans that may be targeted by new treatments for brain cancer and other diseases.
Recent visual neuroscience research provides evidence that blind people process the sense of touch faster than people with normal vision. The research also found that each blind person's tactile perception time was nearly equal to their average speed of their finger moving from one Braille character to the next.
Biologists may be able to better peer into living cells according to new research. Using a new variation on Raman spectroscopy, detailed molecular maps of cellular content can be made without damaging the examined cells.
The title of this article may not catch on as a song lyric, but new neurobiology research shows close friends can cause more of a response in brain regions such as the medial prefrontal cortex than strangers can.
Neuroscience researchers are investigating axon clusters in order to develop a "brain atlas". The research could provide a way for clinicians to recognize groups of abnormal axon clusters. When systematically arranged into the "brain atlas", abnormal axon clusters could be used as bio-markers to diagnose neurological disorders.
New brain research shows that the size of fish telencephalons was correlated with risk taking and timid behaviors. Fish with...
UC Irvine researchers have identified the perforant path in humans with the diffusion tensor imaging technique.
