In a recent study of epilepsy patients and healthy volunteers, researchers found that our brains may withdraw some common words much more often than others. By combining memory tests, brain wave recordings, and surveys of billions of published words, the researchers not only showed how our brains may recall words but also memories of our past experiences.

It's entirely reasonable during a pandemic to feel more stressed, anxious, lonely and depressed than usual. Yet, despite the circumstances, some people are doing OK. What's their secret? A survey of 600 adults across the United States reveals ways positive emotions can be cultivated as people spend more time apart.

According to a new study that used virtual reality to make threats appear near or far, it was the up-close threats that engaged “survival circuitry” in the brain.

Researchers have developed a novel system that can effectively measure brain activity in multiple adult zebrafish simultaneously, opening doors to faster and low-cost testing of drugs for neurological diseases.

Neurons that regularly remodel are more prone to the dysfunctions linked to the disease’s onset, a new experimental and computational study has found.

New research has shed further light on how the brain’s auditory system may provide a window into how the brain is affected by HIV.

Being 'mind-blind' may make remembering, dreaming and imagining harder, study finds.

The Human Brain Project has announced the start of its final phase as an EU-funded FET Flagship, focusing on brain networks, their role in consciousness, and artificial neural nets.

A new molecule for imaging calcium in neurons can help to reduce crosstalk from neighboring neurons, giving a precision view of brain activity.

A group of researchers has discovered how ApoE4, considered to be the most important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, can damage the brain.
