Breaking down the brain for everyone to understand
Researchers have only been able to easily visualize the human brain in the last couple decades. Learn how that has changed the course of neuroscience research and what we might be able to do next.
With a complex organ like the brain, how do neuroscientists decide where to focus their attention? Two newer technologies are paving the way for a fast process that helps researchers make this important decision.
Searching for clues to diagnose problems in the brain
For a difficult-to-diagnose disease, PET imaging may offer better insight than MRI
Why do we find some robots cute and others disturbing? New research points to a representation of the Uncanny Valley effect in the brain.
What’s up with the brain creating a false sense of familiarity?
Before we send humans on extended voyages into outer space, it is critical to understand how this foreign environment may affect our central nervous system.
