A new study reveals that highly specific forms of electrical and magnetic brain stimulation can directly alter human ...

University of Otago Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led research has found stress-controlling brain cells switch on and off in a steady rhythm about once every hour—even when nothing stressful is happening.

Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...

Network control theory (NCT) has recently been utilized in neuroscience to facilitate our understanding of brain stimulation effects and explore optimal paradigms. This paper considers stochastic ...

In other words, when the brain tries too hard to force control, it may become brittle and less able to adapt. In contrast, those who remained cognitively flexible, using strategies like paced ...

A UCLA study has mapped a critical brain hub in mice that regulates stress responses and social behavior, shedding new light on the neural roots of psychiatric conditions such as post-traumatic stress ...

You’ve probably heard of dopamine, oxytocin, and cortisol. Maybe you know dopamine has something to do with feeling good, oxytocin is linked to bonding, and cortisol is that stress chemical you’d ...
