In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between our own body and the external world ...

Mindia Wichert has taken part in plenty of brain experiments as a cognitive-neuroscience graduate student at the Humboldt University of Berlin, but none was as challenging as one he faced in 2023.

A new study shows that the brain activity behind decision-making is far more widespread across the organ than first thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Activity levels in a specific region of the brain predict whether we think something is real, irrespective of whether we've seen it or imagined it. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Humans respond to environments that change at many different speeds. A video game player, for example, reacts to on-screen events unfolding within hundreds of milliseconds or over several seconds. A ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
