Cannabis users showed altered connectivity patterns between brain regions associated with the salience network and central executive network, among others. Specific structural changes were also noted, ...

The claustrum complex, a small yet powerful region in the brain, has intrigued scientists for years. Found across mammalian ...

This study is the first to provide robust evidence that shows the longer-term functional outcomes after VR are superior to that after a posterior approach. In light of recent concerns ... time for an ...

Using a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device, which is widely used to treat depression and other mental illnesses safely, researchers were able to target a key brain network that is ...

through computational modeling and brain stimulation, to also facilitate the retention and forgetting of motor memories. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that the dorsal ...

The anatomy of the brain involves key regions including the brain stem, cerebellum, lobes of the cerebral cortex, and specific glands (the pituitary, for example) needed to maintain life and health.

Beneath the human brain's bulging cerebral cortex, smaller structures toil in relative obscurity. Subcortical areas, also known as the 'deep brain,' play key roles in functions like attention, emotion ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves ... through computational modeling and brain stimulation, to also facilitate the retention and ...

No matter what you've heard, you don't love anything with all of your heart. You love from the depths of your ventral tegmental area, your hypothalamus, your nucleus accumbens, and other vital areas ...

So, there are a lot of unknowns (no doubt fueling partisan bickering), but we do know an incredible amount about the brain and how it develops (and, shall we say, unravels) throughout life.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a "meta-learning" function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to ...
