Consciousness is one of the most enigmatic phenomena in neuroscience, but a new scientific perspective offers a different ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

When pain strikes from multiple sources—such as a paper cut followed by contact with hot water—the experience can feel disproportionately intense. But is this agony merely additive, or does the brain ...

Whether it is dancing or just tapping one foot to the beat, we all experience how auditory signals like music can induce movement. Now new research suggests that motor signals in the brain actually ...

As a person ages, perception declines, accompanied by augmented brain activity. Learning and training may ameliorate age-related degradation of perception, but age-related brain changes cannot be ...

Evoked responses to the congruent and incongruent target words 'cheap' or 'expensive' in the price judgment task (A–C) and the semantic task (D). The graph shows responses to the target words ...

Alex Honnold's brain shows no fear response during extreme climbing stunts. This neuroscientific insight reveals how repeated exposure rewires the perception of danger.
