A research group has received a grant to pursue their work into understanding why male and female brains respond to stress differently and how testosterone could play a role in depression.

Researchers have used AI to discover that humans in a crowd are more likely to imitate others first and then think independently after.

Jeholornis was a raven-sized bird that lived 120 million years ago. No one’s been able to get a good look at the ancient bird's head. But in a new study, researchers digitally reconstructed a Jeholornis skull, revealing details about its eyes and brain that shed light on its vision and sense of smell.

A new review paper explains the basic neurobiology of how psychedelic drugs work at the chemical, molecular, neuronal and network levels, and raises topics for future exploration, such as the impact of compound psychedelics on different types of brain cells.

A new atlas will help inform researchers when final neuronal differentiation takes place. In addition, the researchers have shown that their final position in the tissue depends on their birth time and place.

A new study looks deep inside the brain, where previous learning was reactivated during sleep, resulting in improved memory.

Whether it’s a car door not properly closed, a shanked kick in football, or a misplaced note in music, our ears tell us when something doesn’t sound right. A team of neuroscientists has recently uncovered how the brain works to make distinctions between “right” and “wrong” sounds.

A new study has indicated that children who play video games for three hours a day have improved performance on cognitive skills tests involving impulse control and working memory.

An oxytocin derivative has been designed to be delivered intranasally, and studies in mice have shown that it can reverse amyloid beta-induced cognitive impairment.

A novel algorithm estimates intracranial pressure based on hemoglobin levels using near-infrared spectroscopic cardiac pulse waveforms.
