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.
Mental 'time travel' may help restore fading memories
A new study suggests that recalling the context in which a memory was made can help to restore the memory after it has started to erode.
Memories aren't static in the brain — they 'drift' over time
A new mouse study of spatial memory suggests that the brain's representation of places "drifts" over time.
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.
