Using a mathematical model to study how the brain predicts information and learns, researchers discovered signals for accuracy are found in the anterior insula and anxiety affects activity levels in this brain region.
Researchers have created a new model of the blood-brain barrier that can mimic fluid flow to and from the brain.
The shape of a specific set of proteins differs in the spinal fluid of patients with Parkinson's disease compared to those without the neurodegenerative disease.
Researchers identified microRNA-7 as a non-classic risk factor for hereditary obesity.
Brain organoids are helping researchers map the molecular, genetic, and structural changes that occur during brain development.
Using ultrasound technology for brain imaging may be less harmful and more cost-effective than other current neuroimaging methods.
Surrounding tissue is likely to play a significant supportive role in the development of the neural tube by exerting pressure from the outside.
Non-essential amino acids influence the brain in a way that curbs appetite and promotes exercise.
SleepLoop, a newly designed mobile system, can help promote deep sleep through auditory brain stimulation. The device tracks when a person enters slow-wave brain activity, triggering an auditory signal that helps synchronize neurons and enhance the slow waves.
Ingested non-essential amino acids curb appetite and promote movement in mouse models.
A newly developed control technology that combines proprioception with visual perception allows robots to tackle rough terrains faster and more efficiently.
A new computational model found decisions people are most likely to feel right about are a result of the attentional effort to consciously weigh up different options.
