The results revealed that the speed of alpha brain waves in the parietal cortex plays a key role. This region of the brain ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha ...

Stress, the body's natural response to different types of challenges and daily problems, is an inherently harmless state ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Alpha oscillations – once thought to be the brain “idling” – are turning out to be way more important than we gave them ...

Caltech researchers have quantified the speed of human thought: a rate of 10 bits per second. However, our bodies' sensory ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

Betty faces a seemingly simple choice between an apple and a donut. But as we'll soon discover, the brain's decision-making process is far from straightforward. Betty is standing before the healthy ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...
