Many mammals physically pivot their ears to hone in on a particular sound, and now it seems that a similar action takes place ...

Music affects us so deeply that it can essentially take control of our brain waves and get our bodies moving. Now, ...

An international group of neuroscientists joined forces to produce a landmark neural map, which revealed that decision-making lights up the entire brain.

A new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers one of the most comprehensive views yet of how brain ...

A healthy brain maintains a harmony of neurons that excite or inhibit other neurons, but the lines between different types of ...

Brain mapping is a fascinating scientific endeavour that investigates how our brains are structured and how they change over time. This process examines how learning, ageing, mental illness, and brain ...

A new study finds that musicians experience pain differently than non-musicians, thanks to how their brains adapt through ...

For decades, neuroscientists believed amputation triggered sweeping changes in the brain’s body map. New evidence from long-term patient scans reveals that these representations remain remarkably ...

For centuries, philosophers have asked: where, in the mind, does a decision begin? Is there a moment we can point to and say—there, that’s when the mind… made up its mind? Neuroscience has long tried ...

After pain was induced, the musicians reported experiencing less discomfort overall. And while the hand map in non-musicians’ ...

Painless brain imaging can map elevated pulsation of microvessels, which is potentially connected to memory loss and ...
