An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

Measuring neurofilament light chain levels 48 hours after cardiac arrest can predict long-term cognitive impairment, outperforming current standard blood tests. This biomarker offers a new way for ...

It has long been known as the arbiter of reward in the brain, but recent findings could upend this classic theory of dopamine ...

A new study found that precise application of radio waves can change the activity of brain cells in ways that could counter neurological conditions.

A growing body of neuroscience research is challenging a basic assumption about how the brain produces awareness. Where conventional theories treat consciousness as a product of neuronal firing alone, ...

New research reveals how a "leaky" blood-brain barrier connects sports-related head injuries to long-term brain disease like CTE.

SAN DIEGO — Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of neuroscience, enabling scientific breakthroughs previously out of reach. New applications of AI and machine learning techniques ...

One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is difficulty incorporating new information about the world. This can lead patients to struggle with making decisions and, eventually, to lose touch with reality.

A small region of the brain, known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), plays a key role in how we process rewards. It produces dopamine, a neuromodulator that helps predict future rewards based on ...

Chronic sleep deprivation can harm brain health and lead to neurocognitive decline. Here's how lack of sleep affects memory, ...

Brown Brain Bee Publicity and Volunteer Coordinator Neil Stringer ’27 wrote in an email to The Herald that the event is important to expose high school students to the field of neuroscience because ...
