Attention disorders such as ADHD arise when the brain struggles to separate important signals from irrelevant noise. At any ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Prefrontal cortex biopsies taken for research purposes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures appeared to be safe, new research has suggested. Investigators found no significant differences in ...

Although scientists now know a lot more about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than they did in recent years, ...

Precise changes in the connectivity between neurons caused by an imbalance of gut bacteria may help explain depressive ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new ...

A U.S. research team has confirmed in a mouse study that suppressing a specific gene in the brain can boost attention. This approach contrasts with existing treatment strategies that enhance neural ci ...
