What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
Keeping the Excitement Under Control
Researchers have developed a new method to identify and monitor the activity of 'quiet' neurons.... Read More...
Brain Scans May Help Diagnose Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders
According to researchers, a new neuroimaging system, called fcMRI, can detect subtle differences in how individual brains are wired. The new system may help to distinguish between those at risk of developing neurological and psychiatric disorders, as well as track the progression of diseases.... Read More...
Physiological Reactions to Emotions are Not Uniform
A new study upends hundreds of years of belief that physiological responses to emotion are uniform. Researchers report there is not a single physiological fingerprint for each emotion, but a population of potential responses.... Read More...
The Brain Processes Sight and Sound in the Same Manner
A new study reveals both auditory and visual learning follow similar principles. The findings, researchers report, could help in the development of new approaches to restore sensory deficits.... Read More...
Link Between Gene Variation and Language Discovered
A new study reveals people whose native language contains many consonants carry a specific genetic variation that helps them to distinguish a wide range of sounds.... Read More...
Pathways in Young Brains Associated with Susceptibility for Mental Disorders
Disruptions in fiber tracts connecting brain regions associated with cognitive behavior and emotional regulation in teens appear to be linked to higher risk of psychiatric disorders, researchers report.... Read More...
Overcoming Bias About Music Takes Work
Researchers reveal telling people whether a musician in a professional or student can change the way the brain responds to the music they are playing. ... Read More...
Brain Development Influenced by Immune System
A new study provides further evidence for immune system activation during pregnancy and disruptions in brain development. Many adult diseases, researchers say, may originate during fetal development. ... Read More...
Why Losing a Dog Can Be Harder Than Losing a Friend or Relative
A new article considers why losing a dog can be harder for some to deal with than losing a close friend or family member.... Read More...
Using AI to Detect Heart Disease
Researchers apply deep learning algorithms to help measure physiological changes linked to heart disease.... Read More...
First Ever Neuroimaging Study of People in the Midst of Transcendental Meditation
