The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

The field of functional neuroimaging has advanced rapidly over recent years, offering unprecedented insights into the dynamic interplay between distinct brain regions. Techniques such as functional ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

Sleep patterns, physical activity, mood, and heart rate can affect brain connectivity in the short and longer term, results of a unique precision brain mapping study suggested. Investigators found ...

As Alzheimer’s disease pathology advances, tangles propagate throughout the brain in a fairly stereotypical pattern. Yet tau PET scans of people at the same disease stage are not identical. Could ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. Now, a study ...

Lesions that cause secondary psychosis were most functionally similar to lesions that cause amnesia, though lesions that cause amnesia were more likely to be in the brain’s left hemisphere while those ...
