Tiny electronic chips that can be threaded into the brain through a needle instead of a scalpel are moving from speculative concept to early reality. Researchers are now testing injectable implants ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological mechanism in memory formation: ripple-type brain waves—high-frequency electrical ...

Deep brain stimulation is a surgical brain therapy used to treat symptoms of movement disorders such as dystonia, Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy. Performing over 100 DBS procedures annually, the ...

By inducing specific patterns of activity in small portions of the brain in awake mice, researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have triggered a recalibration of neural ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the Stowers Institute has identified the mechanism that makes a fleeting moment ...

Growing older affects every part of the body, including the brain. Many people notice changes in memory, concentration, and mental sharpness as they age. Scientists have long known that aging ...

Ozempic was supposed to be a gut story. Then Allison Shapiro looked at the brain scans. Within only a few months, the brain connections in the salience network, which helps target attention, had ...

Picture this: your brain is a high-performance engine. Over decades, it doesn't just wear down, it also starts to run hot. Tiny "fires" of inflammation smolder deep within the brain's memory center, ...
