In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...

Researchers have completed the first-ever activity map of a mammalian brain in a groundbreaking duo of studies, and it has rewritten scientists' understanding of how decisions are made. The project, ...

The brain may organize emotions like locations on a map, revealing a hidden system that helps people interpret changing feelings.

The drugs have names that sound like small planets: semaglutide, liraglutide, lixisenatide. Collectively, they belong to a class of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs that has reshaped the ...
