Functional MRI studies have established that subjective feelings of pain and fatigue have objective correlates in terms of ...

A new technology that uses clinical MRI machines to image metabolic activity in the brain could give researchers and ...

In a new paper with implications for preventing Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, Keith Hengen, an ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

Neuroimaging evidence enhances understanding of the subcortex’s role in the neural mechanisms of working memory updating, providing new insights into midbrain function.

When pain strikes from multiple sources-such as a paper cut followed by contact with hot water-the experience can feel ...

A new study has revealed compelling evidence that brain criticality—a dynamic balance between neural excitation and ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a fast, noninvasive MRI method to map whole-brain metabolism. The technique identifies early biochemical changes in the brain.

Diagnosing Parkinson's disease has always been a race against time. The later it’s found, the harder it is to treat.

The human brain actually lights up with signals known as ultra weak photon emotions (UPEs), which are a byproduct of ...

Activity levels in a specific region of the brain predict whether we think something is real, irrespective of whether we've ...
