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.

Your Brain Rewards You for Imagining the Future

A new study proposes that "mental time travel" is reinforced by the brain's reward system. This new theory explains why we invest in future-thinking and how this process can contribute to chronic mental disorders like anxiety.

Cnpy1 Protects Stressed Neurons

Researchers have identified the Cnpy1 protein as a vital survival factor for pheromone-detecting neurons. The study shows how these specialized cells co-opt "ER-stress" pathways to function, with Cnpy1 acting as a cellular stabilizer.

Unpaid Labor Predicts Psychological Distress

Total working hours, combining paid jobs and unpaid domestic labor, is the key driver of poor mental health and sleep deprivation in women. Researchers call for policy changes that account for "invisible work" to close the gender health gap.

Brain Creates “Vivid Worlds” During Total Collapse

Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) may be an evolved survival mechanism. The study suggests the brain creates structured, vivid "worlds" as an adaptive response to physiological collapse.

Moving Toward Metaphysics to Explain Consciousness

A new study is challenging the scientific status quo by arguing that consciousness may be a fundamental property of the universe. Using Integrated Information Theory, the study explores how subjective experience could exist in any highly integrated system.

100,000 Small Factors Rival DNA in Disease Risk

A new study of 100,000+ associations reveals that the "exposome"—the total sum of our environmental exposures—is as influential as DNA in determining disease risk. Researchers found that cumulative exposures can explain up to 43% of certain heart disease markers.

The Brain Stacks Sound Information to Navigate the Dark

A new study reveals that the brain "builds" spatial maps through a process of information summation during echolocation. Researchers found that expert echolocators improve their accuracy with every additional mouth click.

Edge of Chaos: Why Pigeons Refuse to Become “Machines”

Researchers found that pigeons rewarded for any behavior sequence still refuse to settle on a single "best" path. This "edge of chaos" behavior suggests a deep-seated biological need for flexibility over efficiency.

Brain’s Default Setting for Ambiguity Matters for Mental Health

A new study reveals that "valence bias"—how we interpret ambiguous situations—is a key predictor of depression and anxiety. The study highlights a critical "positivity shift" at age 10 that can determine a child's mental health trajectory.

Solo Screen Time Hits Language-Delayed Kids Hardest

Solitary screen time acts as an "active barrier" to well-being for children with language delays. Researchers found that unsupervised digital use turns communication struggles into behavioral and emotional problems.

AI Body Gap: Why Robots Need “Internal Feelings” to be Safe

AI's lack of "internal embodiment"—a digital equivalent to physical feelings—is a major safety risk. The study suggests that for AI to be truly trustworthy, it needs internal regulators that mimic human physiological states.
