Transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS, is a type of brain stimulation that can change neural activity and improve memory, attention and executive function.
Brain injury survivors report the sport can give constant opportunities for learning and a way to reevaulate emotions.
Pain has long been subjectively measured, leading to frustrations for patients and doctors alike. Identifying neural biomarkers of pain could improve diagnosis and lead to better treatments of chronic pain conditions.
Brain scans have been used to interpret thoughts, but how far can this technology go?
One genetic study of over a quarter million people highlights the cognitive benefits of exercise, while another, based on 30 years of scientific literature, says the opposite. Who’s right and who’s wrong?
Adolescent brains are especially vulnerable to risk-taking and social pressure. But there are steps parents can take to steer their teen away from dangerous social media stunts.
Of the risks posed by AI, overtaking human intelligence isn’t an immediate concern.
People with aphantasia are unable to deliberately bring to mind mental images. Understanding the mechanisms of aphantasia reveals that different types of cognition exist.
Pinpointing where memories are stored in the brain and how they are transmitted could provide new targets to treat neurological diseases and serve as models for neuromorphic computing.
Learning new rules requires the suppression of old ones. A better understanding of the brain circuits involved in behavioral adaptation could lead to new ways to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
We often feel drained of energy after a long day of work or study. Here’s how we measure what’s going on in our brain.
Collections of self-organising nanowires behave a lot like the neurons and synapses in our brains, with startling results.
Neuroscientists have typically thought of energy supply to the brain as demand-based. A supply-limited view offers another perspective toward aging and why multitasking can be difficult.
But it could still save you from dementia.
Organ models that more accurately capture finer details could reduce surgical error and lead to personalized implants.
Parents provide the energy needed for their young to grow large brains. Climate change may negatively affect birds’ brain development as it impacts food supplies.
A new film changes its story based on the emotions expressed by the viewer.
Music, memories and emotions are all linked and certain songs can act as a direct line to our past.
We live in a world where we frequently do not get enough sleep, but we need sleep if our brains are going to stay healthy and function efficiently.
