A new study links brain timing to body ownership, showing how alpha waves affect whether sight and touch feel self-related.

All around us is a rich world for us to experience. Inside our minds, we have our own understanding of the world, ourselves, and everything in it. How does the brain do any of this? There’s all this ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

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 ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet incoming messages are the release of ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive biological datasets with the extraordinary power of Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer.

Scientists are closing in on the brain’s internal circuitry for hunger, revealing a surprisingly precise “off switch” that can shut down cravings in real time. Instead of a single magic button, they ...

In “How to Change a Memory,” neuroscientist Steve Ramirez embarks on a project to find and reactivate memories in the brains of mice. November 14, 2025 The following is an excerpt from How to Change a ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...

Many days blur together in our memories, but emotionally charged moments tend to leave a much sharper image. These experiences tend to stay with us for a long time, often becoming the milestones of ...
