New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

A large-scale investigation of carnivoran brain diversity, providing a unified description of folding patterns, their relationship to behaviour and ecology, and the foundation for future ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have refined an X-ray diffraction technique for detecting biological structures ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Hearing imaginary voices is a common but mysterious feature in schizophrenia. Up to 80 percent of people with the disease experience auditory hallucinations—hearing voices or other sounds when there ...

For decades, scientists have suspected that the voices heard by people with schizophrenia might be their own inner speech gone awry. Now, researchers have found brainwave evidence showing exactly how ...

Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region that processes touch. By using ultra-high-resolution brain scans, they ...

For the unskilled makeup amateurs among us, the face-sculpting technique of contouring is a little too intimidating. Luckily, some smart hairstylists have found a workaround via a haircut that mimics ...
