An international team of researchers have compiled the largest dataset to date that details differences between healthy brains and those with Alzheimer's disease. The researchers have released the data online and is free to use. Read More
A new study reports activity, not rest, help speed up recovery following a brain injury. Read More
Researchers have successfully mapped brain networks that are responsible for perception and movements linked to touch. The findings may provide new insights into the connection between movement and touch. Read More
According to researchers, a drug approved by the FDA may reverse some of the symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome. The drug can reverse hyper-excitability that leads to sensory hypersensitivity. Read More
Researchers have successfully mapped brain to spinal cord neural connections that help drive voluntary movement. The map could be beneficial in developing new strategies to treat spinal cord damage. Read More
Researchers report within the first weeks of life, deaf cats have reduced connections between the anterior ectosylvian sulcus and the superior colliculus. However, deaf cats have increased connections from other auditory areas to the superior colliculus. Read More
Comprehension of words relies on areas of the brain associated with motor control as well as 'classic' language centers, researchers report. Read More
A new study investigates whether vision is more sensitive during exercise. Read More
Researchers have identified gene expression signatures common to sensory processing that facilitates the brain's interpretation of sensory input. Read More
Researchers successfully monitor the flow of information between different cortical layers in awake mice. The study provides new insights into the link between behavior and sensory perception. Read More
A new study reveals the neurological mechanisms at work during ketamine anesthesia. Read More
