And some dogs have the same genetic mutation linked to autism in humans.
Bittersweet experiences aren’t uncommon. Do people ever truly feel both positive and negative at the same exact moment, or do we just switch quickly back and forth?
Researchers are developing theories about the purpose of dreams and learning why some people seem to be better at remembering them.
We don’t yet know the health effects of microplastics in the brain. But until we find out more, it’s best to limit our exposure to plastics where we can.
Here’s how your brain visualizes scenarios that you’re not actually looking at with your eyes.
New research predicts when noisy systems are approaching precarious “critical points” – and finds that some parts of the brain prefer to work at the edge of instability
Cerebrospinal fluid can sometimes leak or collect in the brain without an identifiable cause, leading to symptoms that can be difficult to diagnose.
Athletes from a variety of sports have experimented with neurofeedback in recent years in a bid to gain a competitive edge.
Engineers have tried for decades to develop bionic eyes to reverse blindness. But the brain is far more complex than a computer.
Women typically suffer from more headaches than men, and some people experience migraines only during menstruation.
Brains encode language by matching words to patterns of activity. Large language models can do the same thing.
My team have studied the brainwaves of expert golfers to understand what it takes to hit the perfect putt.
Less sleep and later bedtimes are linked to a section of the brain involved in emotion regulation suffering reduced growth, along with weaker connections to other brain areas.
‘Body swapping’ may help people get a clearer idea of what their own bodies are really like.
Why are some individuals at greater risk for developing opioid dependence and addiction? Two neuroscientists at Rowan University discuss their latest findings.
Our research shows our brains are still evaluating our decisions even as we act them out. Better awareness of what influences last-minute decision-making can help us make better choices.
Our body fiercely protects the brain by holding onto things that help it and keeping harmful things out, such as toxins and bugs that can cause infection.
Animals have these kinds of brain hemisphere biases too.
Deciphering how neurons talk to each other by reading the brain’s electrical activity has given scientists insights into memory and conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.
