A team of researchers has revealed how the brain processes emotional information of sustained pain and pleasure. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), the team recorded brain activity ...

The pathophysiological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) begins years, even decades, prior to the time a clinical diagnosis can be established. This long asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic phase ...

fMRI activity during pain is reduced in the areas shown in blue. Many of these are involved in constructing the experience of pain, including the feeling of suffering, and motivating actions to avoid ...

An ongoing challenge in neuroscience is understanding how interconnected brain regions interact in neural processing. Optical measurements of signaling dynamics are taken by combining invasive optical ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a method for identifying areas of high neural activity by detecting blood oxygenation level-dependent signals (BOLD signals) rather than directly ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, is one of the most advanced tools for understanding how we think. As a person in an fMRI scanner completes various mental tasks, the machine produces ...

Winners of a new Baltimore writing contest will help Johns Hopkins University neuroscientists learn what happens in the brain when people read stories. The inaugural fMRI Writing Prize, created by a ...

Using a novel probe for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), biological engineers have devised a way to monitor individual populations of neurons and reveal how they interact with each other.

Language and speech are how we express our inner thoughts. But neuroscientists just bypassed the need for audible speech, at least in the lab. Instead, they directly tapped into the biological machine ...
