That knot in the stomach before a big presentation isn't just anxiety—it's a sophisticated neural network firing signals independent of conscious thought. The enteric nervous system, a mesh of 200–600 ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes, once dismissed as mere support cells, play a central role in fear memory.

Scientists discover that sickle cell disease forces the brain to recruit extra "attention backup" to maintain normal cognitive function.

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

A University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves ...

Young adults with high social anxiety show heightened activity in the brain's visual processing areas. These neural changes explain their high alertness to social threats and offer a physical marker ...

WOMEN experience unique changes in grey matter volume, white matter tracts, and functional neural network organisation after ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted coordination across brain networks. New research shows that treatment with ...
