MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

A new study fundamentally challenges how fMRI data are interpreted, finding no valid coupling between oxygen content measured ...

For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in Nature Neuroscience fundamentally challenges the ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

New research suggests that the way brain networks reorganize moment-to-moment predicts autism severity. Children who spent ...
