Researchers used wearable head caps to track and predict how our brains handle sights and sounds during free outdoor walks.

A theoretical framework suggests that our ability to read social cues relies on balanced chemical signals from a small brainstem region called the locus coeruleus.

A study using resting EEG scans shows that loneliness dampens the brain's spontaneous salience network, altering electrical patterns that flicker for only fractions of a second.

By tracking awake, playing infants, scientists discovered that the brain rewires differently for specific actions like babbling and grabbing, rather than maturing all at once.

Trillions of gut microbes release tiny molecules that help coat nerve wires and link to thinking skills, though direct mind control remains unproven.

Brain-wide imaging in mice reveals that distinct, fast-shifting sequences of cortical activity prepare the brain for different search strategies. Frontal brain areas stay active for over a second as animals move from the centre to the perimeter of a maze.

Scientists found that lacking a messenger protein called RNF10 traps mice in outdated habits, revealing that the hippocampus is essential for updating old memories.

A computer framework combining neural networks, statistical models, and an AI assistant can simulate how the human brain and body cope with the strange pulls of space.

Scientists are using low-intensity ultrasound to physically nudge brain cells through the skull, offering a non-invasive way to reach deep neural circuits.

Blocking vision in one eye for five days caused reversible increases in grey matter volume across visual brain regions in 21 healthy adults.
