Neuroscience

In her clinic, neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan often sees patients with psychosomatic illness — conditions she believes are widely misunderstood. She's now on a mission to change that.

Researchers plugged a "brain organoid" into an artificial intelligence system, using the neural tissue to help complete computational tasks. The experiment could mark a step toward "biocomputers."

Newborns' brains may look relatively smaller than those of other primate babies, but it's not because they're "underdeveloped" by comparison.

An early trial suggests that deep brain stimulation could treat cognitive impairment associated with traumatic brain injury.

People with PTSD feel like they're reliving past experiences in the present. This may be tied to how the brain processes memories of those experiences.

People with tinnitus may be wrongly classed as having "normal hearing" because standard tests don't detect the condition's true cause, a new study suggests.

The idea of treating neurological disorders by marshaling vast unused neural reserves is more wishful thinking than reality.

There might be an advantage to separating scent information from each nostril, a new study hints.

We can account for the evolution of consciousness only if we crack the philosophy, as well as the physics, of the brain.

Hair follicle cells sense touch and release chemicals that activate nearby neurons, scientists reveal.
