A small corner of the neuroscience world was in a frenzy. It was mid-June and a scientific paper had just been published claiming that years worth of results were riddled with errors. The study had ...

A team of researchers has revealed how the brain processes emotional information of sustained pain and pleasure. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), the team recorded brain activity ...

Insomnia is a common, distressing, and clinically important symptom, which causes difficulty initiating sleep; frequent awakening; or early-morning awakening with daytime dysfunction. Approximately ...

Extinction learning is an important learning process that enables adaptive and flexible behavior. Human neuroimaging studies show that the neural basis of extinction learning consists of a neural ...

Using fMRI machines, researchers at Brown University have figured out how to create associations in their subjects’ brains without their conscious knowledge. In a Current Biology paper, the team ...

When someone takes their own life, they leave behind an inheritance of unanswered questions. “Why did they do it?” “Why didn’t we see this coming?” “Why didn’t I help them sooner?” If suicide were ...

How would you like to have the ability to play the piano downloaded into your brain? You might not end up with the same sense of achievement, but it sure would be a lot quicker and easier than years ...

Scientists have trained a computer program to identify people with suicidal thoughts based on their brain scans. The study is small, but the method could one day be used for diagnosing mental health ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive and safe technique to measure and map the activities of brain during normal as well as diseased conditions. It measures the the changes ...
