Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement that ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

"Complex processes are going on in the brain when we sleep," says Dr Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. According to her, a more precise ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...
