Bursts of brain rhythms with 'beta' frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. Studying these bursts would improve understanding of ...

Brain cell signals travel along axons, the thin wire-like extensions of neurons, moving signals along the membrane in a pearl-like shape.

Elon Musk’s brain implant company, Neuralink, announced on Tuesday that it is launching a study to test its implant for a new use: allowing a person to control a robotic arm using just their thoughts.

Scattered plots are the effect size as a function of age, with curves fitted by GAM (blue color) and the square root model (red color). Shaded areas around the curves represent standard errors. Dashed ...

A first-line therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) reshapes connectivity of the brain, according to a new study in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, published ...

The brain does not have the ability to rewire itself—such as following a loss of sight, an amputation, or a stroke—as is commonly claimed, scientists have said. The notion that the brain can repurpose ...

Training exercises designed to improve cognitive control in children do not make a significant difference to their ability to delay gratification or to their academic achievement, nor do they lead to ...
