From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. Now, a study ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...

New experiments by Christian Wood and colleagues suggest that the marmoset brain area 46 (A46) in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is key to a functional network that regulates positive and negative ...

In recent years, breakthroughs in imaging have changed our ability to study the brain, providing a variety of modalities with varying resolution, penetration, and sensitivity. In neuropharmacology, ...

Nineteen young adults handed over their smartphones for three days. When researchers scanned their brains afterward, the ...

A new comprehensive analysis has revealed that major depressive disorder alters both the physical architecture and the electrical activity of the brain in the same specific regions. By mapping these ...

An analysis of hundreds of images from several studies shows how hallucinogenic drugs drive activity in various regions of the brain.
