Researchers have identified a neural network in the brains of monkeys that may represent a common evolutionary origin for social communication and human speech.
A new neuroimaging study reveals how anxiety or stress can link areas of the brain for emotion and olfactory processing, making neutral odors smell malodorous.
The posterior inferotemporal cortex plays a critical role in attention. Researchers say the discovery may require rethinking old concepts of attentional control.
A new study reports researchers have used neuroimaging technology to identify where the brain stores the time and place of real life memories.
Researchers report the strength of certain brain connections may predict success, or failure, at learning a second language.
Acute inflammation of the anterior cerebellum resulted in depression-like symptoms in rodent models. Suppressing microglia helped reduce hyperexcitability and symptoms of depression.
A new neuroimaging study links alcohol cravings to the right ventral striatum.
Connections between key brain networks develop more slowly in children and teens with ADHD, a new study reports.
Following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation, a procedure that reroutes residual limb nerves to intact muscles and skin in amputees, the brain remaps both motor and sensory pathways. Additionally, researchers note, TMSR may help counteract poorly adapted cortical plasticity following amputation.
A new Journal of Neuroscience study reveals the activation of a brain area associated with reward response early in the afternoon.
Aging may alter neural processes for remembering continuous real-world experiences and segmenting memories.
A new study reports artificial intelligence used by the military to help shoot down fighter planes can accurately predict treatment outcomes for people with bipolar disorder.
