A new neuroimaging study suggests that adolescents with borderline personality disorder exhibit distinct patterns of brain ...

Up to 48 hours before a migraine, this region becomes overactive, disrupting functions it normally regulates like sleep and ...

The largest fMRI study to date finds that heavy cannabis use in young adults reduces brain activity and impairs working memory performance.

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

New research demonstrates that electroacupuncture can significantly alleviate pain-induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors by modulating specific excitatory neurons in the brain. Using a mouse ...

The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

Researchers have developed a noninvasive way of using bioluminescent optogenetics to activate parts of the brain. University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG ...

Chronic sleep loss does more than leave people groggy the next morning. A growing body of primary neuroscience research shows that consistently cutting sleep short triggers a cascade of measurable ...

Writing out the same word again and again in cursive may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are implicated in learning and ...
