How do scientists peer into the brain to better understand what is happening, where, and why? By taking advantage of the brain’s electromagnetic properties or by sending radioactive markers into the ...

The Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) in the Institute of Basic Science (IBS), Suwon, Korea, is developing new neuroimaging approaches to explore biophysics, physiology, and biology, and ...

A new study has shown that common levels of traffic pollution can impair human brain function in only a matter of hours. The study was the first to show in a controlled experiment using functional ...

New research for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from multiple ...

The brain is the most complicated three-pound piece of hardware known to man so that to convey its abilities and functions on paper with a few words is, frankly, hardly even possible. What follows ...

A new study has found that interrupting prolonged sitting with a minute of half-squats every 20 minutes improved blood flow to the brain and, with it, cognitive functioning and concentration. This ...
