No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

Studying the activity of neurons is important for understanding how the brain functions. Modern noninvasive methods rely on magnetoencephalography (MEG), the use of magnetic sensors to measure the ...

With testing season on the horizon, it’s important for students to be able to recall information not just from the current unit but from the entirety of the semester. Consistent, scaffolded review ...

Floating in a warm, nutritious bath, the slices of mouse brain buzzed with electrical activity. Researchers gave them a few zaps, and parts of the hippocampus strengthened their wiring. This type of ...

You walk into a room and forget why you’re there. Names evaporate right after introductions. We’ve all been there before. It’s frustrating, yes, but it doesn’t mean inevitable decline—especially if ...

Summary: For years, the neurological impact of childhood trauma was often viewed as a permanent “scar” on the brain. However, new research challenges this deterministic view. The study demonstrates ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Global antisemitism is spurring some immigration to Israel, but more people left the country in the past two years than arrived.

Researchers have identified a surprising brain pattern that may help explain why people with ADHD often struggle to stay focused. Even while awake, their brains can slip into brief episodes of ...

New research indicates that the long-term neurological impact of childhood trauma is not permanently etched onto the brain. An analysis of brain communication patterns in a group of individuals who ...

Research in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging challenges the traditional deficit-focused views of adversity and offers a more dynamic and hopeful pathway for ...

Elaine Pinggal from Monash University, and colleagues assessed how sleep-like brain activity in awake adults influences sustained attention during a task. The researchers compared sleep-like brain ...

Topographic maps of the brain show the spatial representation of activity. The topographic maps shown highlight the density distributions of sleep-like (slow wave) activity across the scalp for the ...
