Researchers have identified electrical activity in the brain that is specific to the start of migraines. The new study reports spreading depolarization can be seen as a migraine begins, and an electrical current can be used to stop it in its tracks.
Researchers have succeeded in making superficial white matter visible in a living human brain.

A new neuroimaging study shows differences in brain structure according to how trusting people are of others.
Learning a new language or playing a musical instrument has a positive impact on cognitive function in the aging brain, researchers report.
Future research into the underlying causes of neurological disorders such as autism, epilepsy and schizophrenia, should greatly benefit from a first-of-its-kind atlas of gene-enhancers in the cerebrum (telencephalon). This new atlas identifies and locates thousands of gene-regulating elements in a region of the brain that is of critical importance for cognition, motor functions and emotion.
According to a new study, speech can be recovered on the right side of the brain following a stroke.
Researchers report piglets of mothers who were fed a choline rich diet had increased white and gray matter in the brain.
Researchers report demyelination may not be as good an indicator of the progression of MS as previously thought.
Neuroimaging study reveals people who report widespread pain have increased gray matter and functional connectivity in sensory and motor areas of the brain.
Researchers implicate a brain region called the paracingulate sulcus in the experience of hallucinations. The findings shed light into why some people are more likely to hallucinate than others, and provides a new target for treatment aimed at reducing the experience.
