A woman whose DNA suggested she’d develop early-onset dementia staved off cognitive decline for decades.

The Penn State University scientist was known for her work on fish’s perception of pain.

A growing body of evidence supports the theory that neural hyperactivity and hyperconnectivity precede the pathological changes that lead to neurodegeneration.

The original experiment found brain activity as measured by fMRI was tied to particular genetic variants.

The Yale University cognitive neuroscientist studies how the brain extracts patterns from experiences.

A study in rats finds that tiny doses of the psychedelic drug DMT may yield positive effects for anxiety and depression, but there could be downsides too.

The EEG-based method could help clinicians identify patients with severe brain injuries who are actually capable of some cognitive function, despite appearing unresponsive.

Her work changed the discipline by bringing rigorous experimentation to field studies of monkeys and baboons.
