New brain implant can decode a person's 'inner monologue'
A new brain-computer interface can decode a person's inner speech, which could help people with paralysis communicate.
When your mind goes 'blank,' your brain activity resembles deep sleep, scans reveal
Neuroscientists think moments of "mind blanking" could be a way for the brain to protect itself.
Warm and cool temperatures travel on completely different paths to the brain
Researchers have mapped out the neural pathway that humans use to perceive cool temperatures and found that it's separate from the one for sensing heat.
New pocket-size model of ALS 'breathes and flows like human tissue'
A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.
Can your brain run out of memory?
Your memory relies on reusing, overlapping and adapting rather than on a fixed number of storage spots.
Can adults make new brain cells? New study may finally settle one of neuroscience's greatest debates
Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing controversy in neuroscience.
Zapping the brain may help boost math skills, study hints
A study suggests that carefully controlled electrical stimulation of the brain may improve math skills, most significantly in people with weaker connections in a specific part of the brain.
Ketamine may treat depression by 'flattening the brain's hierarchies,' small study suggests
Ketamine leads to increased communication between areas of the brain that don't typically engage with each other, new research suggests.
