Depression affects millions of people worldwide, but much is still unknown about this illness and treatments don't always work. Ph.D. candidate Jesper Pilmeyer examined patients' brains using MRI ...

Neuroscientists have set up computer frameworks that can help model individual brain dynamics. The complexity of the human brain -- 86 billion neurons strong with more than 100 trillion connections -- ...

A 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques has been created by a team of researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and collaborators from five different ...

Pregnancy is a transformative time in a person's life where the body undergoes rapid physiological adaptations to prepare for motherhood - that we all know. What has remained something of a mystery is ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound or movement. Others build slowly, such as understanding context, meaning, ...

A new study shows that genetic risk for schizophrenia causes a unique decrease in frontal cortical surface area during early adolescence.

Each circle is a neuron, only those that are significantly active are shown at each point of time and the size of the circle is scaled with the amount of activity of that neuron. See research paper in ...

Motor imagery electroencephalography (EEG) signals depict changes in brain activity during imagined limb movements. Conventional methods, however, often fail to capture these spatiotemporal variations ...
