An analysis of the contours of more than 600 kids’ brains points to links between cerebral surface area and heritability in regions of the brain important in cognition.  

Researchers have implanted electronics masquerading as neurons in the brains of mice.

The drugs lead to widespread, predictable changes in brain waves that can help anesthesiologists personalize anesthesia and develop anesthetic-based treatments.

Drugs that doctors use to sedate patients during traumatic medical procedures act on neural receptors to alter brain activity.

The same group of neurons encode both actual motion and movement perceived in an optical illusion, according to a study on macaques.

Researchers record neurological changes in a region called the mushroom body in the brains of bees completing a maze in a virtual environment.

The research is among the first to find the connection in humans.

Sleeping on a rhythmically swaying surface helps synchronize sleep oscillations in the human brain, a study finds.

The method combines two approaches to reveal a high-resolution map of all 40 million synapses.
