Psychedelics can quiet the brain’s visual input system, pushing it to replace missing details with vivid fragments from ...

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have identified a specific brain circuit that plays a crucial role in deciding whether pain becomes chronic, a finding that could someday lead to new ...

A new type of brain implant may have implications for both brain research and future treatments of neurological diseases such ...

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

Psychedelic substances are increasingly being used under medical supervision to treat anxiety disorders and depression. However, the mechanisms by which these substances influence our perception and ...

Scientists may have stumbled across a network of vessels in the brain that helps clear out waste fluid – a discovery that could "represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of all neurodegenerativ ...

Psychedelic substances are increasingly being used under medical supervision to treat anxiety disorders and depression. However, the mechanisms by which these substances influence our perception and ...

Psychedelic substances act on the brain by binding to serotonin receptors. Scientists have identified at least 14 different receptors that respond to ...

Scientists have recreated morphine-like pain relief in mice with a targeted therapy that avoids addiction-linked brain ...

A needle-thin, flexible brain implant is giving researchers a new way to interact with multiple brain regions simultaneously.
