A new study reveals that all human senses—sight, hearing, taste, and touch—activate the same deep brain regions linked to consciousness when attention is sharply focused.

A new study suggests that gabapentin, a widely used anti-seizure medication, may improve survival in patients with glioblastoma (GBM), the deadliest form of brain cancer.

Researchers have, for the first time, tracked how individual neurons lose and recover energy during spreading depolarizations ...

A new study reveals that a small cluster of cells near the brain's "blue spot"—the locus coeruleus—helps regulate arousal, ...

Summary: Large language model (LLM) AI agents, when interacting in groups, can form shared social conventions without centralized coordination. Researchers adapted a classic “naming game” framework to ...

A new study reveals how rats can learn to fear through inference, offering insights into the neural basis of higher-order emotions.

Summary: New brain imaging research reveals that sudden “aha!” moments not only feel satisfying but actually restructure how the brain stores information, enhancing long-term memory. Participants ...

Summary: Alcohol use among women has surged to match men’s rates, but women face far greater health risks even at lower consumption levels. A growing body of research is uncovering key neurobiological ...

Summary: A new study across eight countries shows that higher consumption of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) is significantly linked to increased premature deaths. Researchers found that each 10% rise in ...

Summary: New research spotlights the habenula, a tiny but powerful brain region, as a key player in addiction, motivation, and emotional regulation. Studies show that the habenula’s circuitry ...

Summary: New research shows that 40Hz sensory stimulation (GENUS) improves memory, enhances brain circuit connectivity, and increases new neuron growth in mice modeling Down syndrome. In the study, ...

Summary: A new stretchable, rechargeable sticker developed by researchers can detect authentic emotional states by measuring physiological signals like heart rate, skin temperature, and humidity, even ...
