Scientists recorded the brain's sleep switch firing in real time - and the feedback loop they uncovered reshapes what we know about deep sleep.

Scientists watched the brain’s sleep switch fire in real time — and the feedback loop they found changes how we understand ...

UC Berkeley just mapped the brain circuit behind your nightly growth hormone surge - here's why your first 3 hours of sleep matter.

Scientists used a tool called SynTrogo to edit brain circuits in mice, showing that trimming select synapses can make ...

Using sensors and a light-activated drug, the team mapped neural pathways used by endogenous opioids to send pain relief ...

Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for ...

New research in mice from scientists at New York University Langone Health (NYU Langone Health) and their colleagues elsewhere identifies brain circuits that make memories more stable during learning.

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

According to Deco, this model not only allows a brain to be digitally reproduced but it "provides far better information for predicting diseases and symptoms than traditional measures". As reported by ...

Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete.
