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.

Imaging of the human brain reveals constellations of activity associated with conscious and unconscious states.

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

At playtime together, parents’ brain activity mimics that of their infant children.

A perception of sustained focus may actually be the result of cycles of fluctuating rather than continuous neural activity, according to new behavioral and neurological data from studies in humans and macaques.
