University of Oregon neuroscientists have identified a group of brain cells that essentially act as a "disappointment meter," announcing when reality is falling short of expectations.

The science behind our brains is, unsurprisingly, complex. There are approximately 86 billion neurons in the human brain, which form 100 trillion connections to each other – a number so big it can be ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

A decades-old challenge in neuroscience has been solved by harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the electrical signatures of different types of brain cells for the first time, as part ...

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere). They can also ...

A new study found two recurring brain connectivity patterns in autism. One was linked to synapses and the other to immune ...

Medications are typically a part of brain tumor treatment. They’re often used along with other types of treatments. Types of medications used include chemotherapy drugs, corticosteroids, and seizure ...
