Generalized epilepsy has traditionally been considered a seizure of the "'whole brain.'" However, new research has challenged ...

Next time you feel an itch, remember that your brain's vast network of neurons informs it whether it is an itch or pain. A ...

Researchers have discovered how specific brain circuits process empathy, showing that witnessing others in pain activates the ...

Frederic L.W.V.J. Schaper, MD, PhD , director of Epilepsy Network Mapping at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at ...

Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...

Humans have unique brain connections affecting emotions, social intelligence, and language, unlike chimpanzees or macaques.

A new study reveals that pain and itch are processed by distinct neural circuits in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).

Understanding how the brain responds to fear could help treat people with phobias, PTSD, and anxiety.

The subtleties involved here reflect the fact that the brain’s dizzying complexity means it’s rarely possible to draw simple conclusions. Even in this case, where a basic interpretation might be that ...

A study reveals that motor control in the brain is modular and adaptable. Using optogenetics and imaging in mice, researchers identified horizontal networks that reorganize as new skills are learned.

Researchers from the University of Seville and the University of Cadiz, coordinated by the professors of Physiology Pedro ...

A research team has uncovered key insights into how the brain processes others' distress. Using miniature endoscopic calcium imaging, the researchers identified specific neural ensembles in the ...
